[TF2] War Paint Stereotypes! Episode 1: The Only One

  • Ever seen a person’s weapon skin and assumed something about how they play? Well, you’re not alone. In fact, most hats, weapons, or other cosmetics in TF2 hold a certain stereotype. This series of videos aims to go over some of the most well-known war paint stereotypes in TF2.
    Please keep in mind that I’m not saying that anyone who uses a certain war paint is a certain type of person. These videos are made out of spite at this point. Sorry if I hurt your feelings or something.
    This episode is sponsored by The Monkey's Paw™. Shoutout to everyone who once thought, "I sure wish SoundSmith would go back to making Stereotypes like he used to!" This is what you wanted, right?

    Okay, I'll admit I originally came to your channel for the stereotypes, and just kept watching as I waited for whenever you'd do a new stereotypes series. But as time went on, I've grown to like your other stuff more. At this point, I'm genuinely enjoying your other stuff more than the stereotypes series.

    Hey SoundSmith, I really appreciate you doing the bit out of spite. Even if I did notice the ARG thing (which I didn’t, because I am a blind dumbbell) I never would have asked for it because I knew you wanted to stop the Stereotypes series. I wish you and your friends the best of luck and hope you have a great day.

    It’s actually really telling that this is how Ethan _perceives_ his early work.
    As someone with insomnia, I’ve listened to Stereotypes an ungodly amount of times, and nothing he’s made, at least since that series started, sounded like this.
    But that’s normal.
    All creators tend to view their earlier works- especially works that superseded their own individual popularity- with regret.
    If you’re butthurt about SoundSmith making this video as a joke, you deserve to be butthurt.

      I can't really say I blame him either all things considered.
      While Stereotypes is the series that effectively boosted his channel into the mainstream and exploded in popularity leading to his channel growth it also had it's negative effects, like people taking said stereotypes seriously despite his disclaimer bit at the beginning.
      I honestly get the feeling Soundsmith regrets this series more in the way of how it changed the perspectives many held on certain cosmetics and weapons than he regrets it as a past product of work. (Though it's likely both, it's probably more the former than latter.)
      Overall I actually think the contrast between Stereotypes then and the current content he produces shows how much he's evolved as a content creator over the years, and I honestly respect him for that.
      I agree people should be butthurt over it, Soundsmith gave this shit up ages ago and with good reason, so let the poor man do what he wants to instead of begging for more.

    Funny thing is your stereotype series is what introduced me and got me hooked to your channel.
    I forgot which stereotype video it was that I saw, but I remember it was the first video of yours that I saw.
    I thought it was dumb but at the same time also hilarious. So I decided to watch the other stereotype videos and had great time. At some point I decided to watch the other videos you made and ever since I’ve been a big fan of your channel.
    Thanks for all the funny memories.

    I honestly remember when your videos were first recommended to me back in 2018. I was working at Chipotle at the time and would always have your video on after work while I ate my free meal. It was honestly something I get nostalgia about to this day despite literally destroying my body for that job for little return. Whenever I get Chipotle now and one of your old stereotypes videos comes up in my recommended videos I click on it immediately. They were my intro to TF2 and I don't think I'd be the player I am without them. I got to know all the weapons and what they do even before I opened the game. It made my life easier for sure. Thank you Ethan for introducing me to this wild ride of a game.
