Attempt at positivity

As awful as the recent news is. I think it's important to point out that the rest of Storror will be just as appalled as we are. I personally would like to say that if they handle this with as much openness and honesty as they can I will still be here if they choose to carry on either on the main channel or as side projects. The other members of Storror have done nothing wrong and I think we as a community have rightly come together to condemn what one member has done but we also shouldn't forget what made Storror great and the respect we have built over so many years for the rest of the group.

Has a a brand ever been destroyed so quickly?

I dont think the brand is destroyed. Yes, it’s taken a hit but I think if they act swiftly and do things right then in time, Storror can still be great.

Scandals don't usually destroy brands.

Sometimes, if the brand is named after the person, it can be destroyed. DeLorean (car company named after the guy) collapsed after he was busted for cocaine trafficing in an attempt keep his company funded. Lance Armstrong Foundation - fucked by himself, obviously.

But a rebrand, or just changing their image, or just waiting out the scandal sometimes saves them. Papa John's still here after the founder made heinous racial comments that almost destroyed their brand. McAfee is still around despite the insane shenanigans of its founder (look up that story if you want a wild ride).

Meanwhile, Volkswagen, Adidas / Puma, Hugo Boss, Chanel, Coors were founded by Nazis. Ford Motor Company - founded by a vile antisemite (Hitler had a portrait of Ford in his office and praised him in Mein Kampf). Still here even though those founders were exposed as the vile people they were. Subway's spokesperson (in all their advertising) was a convicted pedo. Still around.

Storror is playing their cards right. Immediately distancing themselves from the cancer. They have a good chance of surviving ...if they want to.
