** [=SoundSmith=] has made his disdain for ''Stereotypes'' very prominent during the Misc section of the series. This was due to no longer finding it fun or fresh, the lowbrow comedy effort compared to his other projects, and a [[WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings persistent fanbase]] [[MisaimedFandom who take the stereotypes at face value]], won't shut up about the series, and asking when the next episode is coming out. After releasing the Spy Misc Stereotypes in June 2020, Ethan has made it adamant that he will no longer make any more Stereotype videos due to his severe frustration and burnout from making them. This eventually reached the point where he made [[https://youtu.be/kYkIHbtcPBQ?si=Jhi6yWa1_LcNfV_R War Paint Stereotypes]], a [[StylisticSuck deliberately bad]] video dedicated to everyone who begged him for another Stereotypes video anyway.

* MagnumOpusDissonance: Though Ethan's retroactive hatred of the ''Stereotypes'' series is well-documented and he's clearly much prouder of his work on ''Mann's Guide'', the ''Stereotypes'' series is still his aggregate most viewed series and what launched his channel's career, and many of his fans believe that he sells the series short a lot of the time and that it has a lot of redeeming qualities.



* WhatCouldHaveBeen: At one point, Ethan mentioned some other ideas for Stereotypes he could do, such as Map Stereotypes, Taunt Stereotypes, Class Stereotypes, and "honorable mentions" that he left out. As of the release of Spy Misc Stereotypes however, these videos are all but confirmed to never be happening, due to him being finished with the series and refusing to make any more videos for it.

*** He goes into a bit more detail on his dislike of the series in [[https://youtu.be/dFEjLHzQ1YI?t=386 this]] video, explaining that due to his lack of understanding of satire (namely having a clear target and purpose), making assumptions about random players based on their appearances and weapon choice caused ''Stereotypes'' to [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis become what it was trying to make fun of]], thus making much of the fans who took the videos seriously a MisaimedFandom.
** He also heavily regrets advertising himself as a "[=TF2ber=]" and transitioning to doing different content way too late, due to amassing a fanbase that mostly wanted to see content from Team Fortress 2 specifically, which made it much more difficult for Ethan to start doing variety content.

* ColbertBump: Like most TF2 creators, his content and popularity has influenced the popularity of cosmetics he uses and features, such as his own signature Dr. Dapper's Topper. Soundsmith invokes it in the ''Soldier Misc Stereotypes'' video when discussing the "Lone Survivor" (a mustache and 5-o'clock shadow makeover for Soldier), mentioning a friend who hopes his feature of the misc will artificially inflate its value in the TF2 econmoy, but telling viewers to ignore it.

** Subsequently subverted in the ''Pyro Misc Stereotypes'' video, where Soundsmith goes to the trouble prior to release to buy up tons of "Pyrobotics Pack" (the MVM Robo-Pyro's airtank backpack for the human(?) Pyro) and imply he's about to promote/artificially-inflate its value as well, only to go about roasting the Misc as one of, if not THE worst cosmetic in the game, so tough luck, anyone who was waiting for lightning to strike twice!... except there was still a bump in the Misc's economy price as a result of the video.
