Provide explanations for why you chose those right now.

Fairy now resists Dragon instead of being immune to it. This allows them to set up while a Dragon is locked into a resisted Outrage.
Fairy no longer resists Bug. I don't know why it did in the first place, to be honest.
Steel is now weak to Electric and Water. Steel is too good of a defensive type, so a few weaknesses should help
Ice now resists Ground and Flying. Ice should have a few more resistances, so resisting birdspam and eq spam will help it immensely.
Water is now weak to Poison. Poison is a mediocre offensive type, so another type being weak to it seems fine.

>psychic
Impossible to concentrate when you're in agonizing pain across your entire body
>Dark
Thematically appropriate that the dirty fighter can get an edge in against a more honorable martial artist, and that a dirty fighter would be undone by a trick as underhanded as being poisoned.
>bug
Bugs are very good at killing other bugs, and it just seems appropriate that normal is weak to it as many animals get really fucked up by bug bites and stings
>steel
Being weak to fighting makes no sense, and it operates on the same logic as water types do since metal conducts electricity. Dragons are always slain by warriors with steel weapons.
>fighting
Martial artists break wooden boards
>grass
The logic that grass is weak to flying because birds eat seeds and fruit is stupid considering that, by that logic, normal should be SE against it too
>Ice
Underpowered type thats usually a burden to every pokemon that gets it. Grass cant grow in sub zero conditions and bugs cant live in places without foliage. Cold temperatures freeze water

Given that logic, shouldn't psychic be weak to poison, fire, and ice as well?

I was going to make psychic weak to poison as well, but at this point it already has 4 weaknesses. I chose electric over poison because electricity spreads through the whole body a lot faster and has a primal fear factor to it that could break a psychic type's resolve.

I get that you're shitposting, but the whole point of the dark type is that they fight unpredictably using underhanded attacks. Its only logical that theyd have an edge against more disciplined, rigid and honorable opponents. Keep in mind that theyre still getting hit super effectively by fighting types too.

Those are all good changes, although I think steel should lose some of its weaknesses if you're making it weak to electric and water just so that its less of a "rock-but-worse" type.

Yeah, that makes sense. Maybe give it back its resistance to ghost?

Every type now has these changes
Super Effective against 3 types
Not Very Effective against 3 types
Weak to 3 types
Resists 3 types
No effect on 1 type
Immune to 1 type.

Every move remains in the game with their effects in tact.

How does the game change?

Ice is already the best offensive type in the game, why buff it further?

I think Fairy, being the "meta" type, resists bug because of U-Turn, but that's pretty meaningless given that it's used by many non-bug types and it just harms the many bugs that need their STAB moves.
