History YMMV / STAR

* CrazyIsCool: Half the humor of his ''[=TF2=]'' videos stem from STAR_ and his friends doing things absolutely no one else would consider.

* WhatAnIdiot: Despite being an incredibly skilled player, even STAR_ has his moments of idiocy. Unintentional idiocy, that is.
** In one round of the first match against Team LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}, STAR_, as a Persian Persuader Demoknight, had low health and was the sole remaining team member against four opponents. After making a search for health packs, finding none, he futilely charged at Team Yogscast, getting mowed down in the process. Plenty of commentators pointed out that, since he was using the Persian Persuader, he could have picked up the ammo packs strewn around as health. He might not have been able to kill all of Team Yogscast even then, but he possibly would have been able to take someone with him.
** In "Ask Nicely For Kritz" he neglects collecting ammo and subsequently finds himself against a Sentry... with only 4 rockets left. The next round he makes sure to keep plenty of ammo.
** While STAR_'s [[AchillesHeel weakness to mini sentries]] has usually been PlayedForLaughs, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxqxnAVU0LA "How to Sawmill Rollout"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcm74Ue3c0U "Sock'em Bopper Hevies"]] both show him getting killed by them even though it was in his power to destroy them, and he was aware of them. In the former, he enters the building that the control point is in and doesn't pull out his rocket launcher to deal with a mini sentry as it was momentarily distracted by a friendly Scout, and then gets killed by a mini seconds after it was deployed because he was more concerned about the Engineer that put it down. In the latter, since he was a [[MightyGlacier Heavy]], it would've been a cinch to gun down the mini sentry before he decided to camp at the enemy teleporters.

* HoYay: Jerma and STAR_ are often jokingly shipped as a couple by fans, [[BelligerentSexualTension especially thanks to their bickering]]. It came to a surprise as many thus when it turned out STAR_ has a wife, and mass panic when STAR_ jokingly claim "Jerma is dead to me" in the description for "Taunt Kill Bullies". Some have even taken to posting Jerma/STAR_ fanfiction in the [=YouTube=] comments.

* CrazyAwesome: Half the humor of his videos stem from STAR_ and his actions being ''[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} absolutely nuts]]''.

* FountainOfMemes: Many of STAR_'s old ''TF2'' videos are still quoted to this day.

* FountainOfMemes: Due to his all around silliness, STAR_ is easily one of the most quotable people alive, at least within the Team Fortress community.

* HoYay: Jerma and STAR_ are often jokingly shipped as a couple by fans, [[BelligerentSexualTension especially thanks to their bickering]]. It came to a surprise as many thus when it turned out STAR_ has a girlfriend, and mass panic when STAR_ jokingly claim "Jerma is dead to me" in the description for "Taunt Kill Bullies". Some have even taken to posting Jerma/STAR_ fanfiction in the [=YouTube=] comments.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: There has been a lot of backlash since STAR_ decided to abandon [=TF2=] in exchange for Overwatch. While people understand him not wanting to play it all of the time, the fact that he has apparently quit playing [=TF2=] ever again is disappointing to many of his fans.

** The "jerma is dead to me" joke became this after Star admitted on a stream they aren't friends anymore. Though, as of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8o03LmZ3vU this video]], that may not be the case.
*** Confirmed on his stream where he gave backstory confirming it was all setup for the video above.

* WinBackTheCrowd: There was a period around 2017 where Ster was quite grouchy and unpleasant, with detractors pointing to an incident where he insulted a stream donator for a prolonged period, and another where he went nuts over somebody simply mentioning him in a ''Videogame/TeamFortress2'' video. Coupled with confirming the end of his friendship with Jerma and a video where he called out a bunch of crude commenters [[{{Hypocrite}} without acknowledging his own poor behavior]], and he ended up on the bad side of quite a few people. After a few quiet years, things started looking up. For starters, Jerma and Ster revealed that they had made up behind the scenes and implemented the development into a [[https://youtu.be/v8o03LmZ3vU stream joke]]. Then Ster finally uploaded another "Basically" video, which was a big hit with fans. After that, he uploaded "What Happened to the Old STAR_?", in which Ster explained that he had been suffering from severe depression, not helped by all the recent hate (especially concerning his non-''[=TF2=]'' content), which was part of why he had been so unpleasant. These steps helped Ster to gradually regain his public standing.

* WinBackTheCrowd: There was a period around 2017 where Ster became much grouchier, with detractors pointing to an incident on his stream where he insulted a donator for a very prolonged period, and another where he went nuts over somebody simply mentioning him in a ''Videogame/TeamFortress2'' video. Coupled with confirming the end of his friendship with Jerma and a video where he called out a bunch of crude commentors [[{{Hypocrite}} without acknowledging his own poor behavior]], and he ended up on the bad side of quite a few people. After a few quiet years, things started looking up. For starters, Jerma and STAR_ revealed that they had made up fairly quickly behind the scenes and had been waiting to implement it into a stream, [[https://youtu.be/v8o03LmZ3vU Everybody Wants to See This Happen]]. Then Ster finally uploaded another "Basically" video which was a big hit with fans. After that, he uploaded "What Happened to the Old STAR_?", in which Ster explained that he had been suffering from severe depression, not helped by all the hate around the time (especially concerning his non-''TF2'' content).

After this, however, he took the video down, he got back to editing his own videos, and while the decision to disable the Youtube comments section was controversial, the actual quality of the videos is agreed upon to be similar to his original content. Additionally, Jerma clarified that their relationship didn't end on a sour note (rather, they just drifted apart), putting most fans at ease who thought it ended poorly.

* ArchiveBinge: As of now, he has over 450 videos in his main channel alone. His alternate channel has over 200 videos too. Then there's also his Twitch channel. Then there are his countless shenanigans with WebVideo/Jerma985 on his own channel...
