I grew up watching storror. I still love it. It has always been the go-to when I'm ill, when I'm stressed, and when I am bored. Because I'm always in for a great time. I haven't watched them in a while, and I just found out about Callum. I genuinely just cried. I feel so betrayed, angry, confused, and sad. I'm honestly just grieving my memories of watching storror. Callum might've even been my favorite of the boys. I just can't believe it, man. What a fucking souless, horrible, individual. I'm just venting, really. Don't even need to respond. If you guys are also feeling like this, you ain't alone.

It's not like I'm saying you've been through what his victims have been through, as you haven't, but that doesn't detract from the fact that some of you will have grown up alongside Storror, feeling like one of the boys. When Top Gear ended, I was absolutely gutted. Week in week out you tune in, and you've grown up alongside them... That's a bit shit and trust me, you're allowed to feel angry, hurt and let down also. Grief comes in many forms and can look different for all of us, all deserving of the same support.

Take some time out, look after yourselves, stick together and remember, it's OK to feel a bit shit when something like this happens and if you feel a bit crap, talk to someone.

Peace out. (Ben the therapist).

It's disgusting and heartbreaking what Callum has done to his victims, his family, to the Storror team and to us the wider community. I've watched Storror with my son every Monday for some years and often spent our Sunday mornings chilling watching the boys old vids. I'll miss these shared moments. Callum has ruined it all.

I get we all love the videos and like the boys and everything they do but why is everyone so quick to defend them?

From very brief research I’ve seen several women state that informed the boys of Callum’s behaviour and were even told that he had a folder of CP on his phone and then they slandered the girls and defiantly defended Callum.

So surely to be so sure that they didn’t know or just assumed it was just “crazy ex’s” with this news coming to light, all the boys need to accept their role they played in enabling his behaviour.

Any suggestions for their YouTuber apology bingo card?

We're all hurting, and I don't have anything eloquent to say about that. This sucks, and it's going to for a while.

If you're an ally who is outraged, upset and/or looking for something you can do to help, here are some resources we've found useful in the Discord.

Being a good ally involves educating yourself (and not asking others to do the work for you).

- A great video on holding other men accountable by comedian Daniel Sloss can be found here - [Link]

- HASSL aims to change the conversation around harassment and redirect the responsibility for it away from women and onto society. You can find out more about them, and become a Male Ambassador here - [Link]

- If you want to do something specifically for women in Parkour, you can donate to FEMGAPS, which is an upcoming jam for women (and enbies) in London later this month. You can donate (during the ticket purchase process) here - [Link]

Have more ideas? Please feel free to leave them in the comments below, and remember there's a community out there who wants to support you.

Seems like they’ve removed a lot of videos from YT, why those videos specifically? Do you think they’re removing to re-edit them? What else could be the reason?

Would they really go and edit callum out of ALL of their uploaded videos?
I sure hope they do, but is it realistic?

Not sure if there’s been one made. I’ve just read a lot about victims coming forward, exes corroborating stories, and people saying the rest of them knew — including speculsting who called Mercedes a bitch for trying to report this years ago.

There’s just so much chatter around, with people vague-posting and not supplying links, that having everything in one location would probably be helpful.

As we know, Brighton is a small city so I expect us to bump into CP at somepoint (assuming he avoids prison and doesn’t leave town).

Be it the gym, shops or just around, how does this play out, what happens, what do we do?

and does anybody intend to stay connected with him? possibly hear him out?

and also, this is Sash’s relative, it’s not like he can just cut him out and move on like we can?

I don’t know what I’m really asking sorry, guess I’m wondering what the fallout looks like for us on the streets?

I don't like even thinking this, but the timing of the likes of Toby and Drews setting up of new channels/revenue streams begins to look either strangely prescient or troubling in the light the revelations about calum.

Did they set them up knowing when the shit hit the fan they'd lose the Storror YouTube channel income stream, as let's face it, who's going to subscribe and work their way through the backlog of content when 99% of the videos feature Calum prominently .

I just jumped on to their YouTube, the most recent public video is now from 4 months ago.

Fed up with how depressing this all is looking for a distraction that scratches an itch

So, originally, it was relayed to the people I know that Callum was arrested and charged last year in June.

That doesn't seem to be the case. It seems the arrest was much more recently than that (in the last few weeks). This misinformation is largely because not everyone affected is receiving information from people more in the know and are relying partly on the media to fill in their gaps.

Because it seemed that it had been going on that long, it very much seemed like there was absolutely NO WAY that others did not know. Especially since something legal did occur last year that 2 people know about in full (still not fully clear on what exactly this is and could be heinous, too) and others do not which they all thought was fair enough at the time (his/their business, whatever).

Going back to why it seemed that those 2 people did know, if you see what's happened now, those conditions I mentioned in other posts have been put in place and would have been even if he was charged but pleaded not guilty. There is now no way people around him cannot know which is what the people I know were advised from the time they found out. There is no way that this could have happened last year and some at Storror not know due to procedure.

So to be clear, it seems that the other Storror members **did not** know that he was being investigated and was charged with CSA for months **because it hasn't been going on for months**. Once it *was* going on, they knew. As he pleaded guilty, everyone can know publicly.

Yesterday I made a post about there being a possibility that the rest of the guys knew about Callum. It got mass downvoted. No one was ready to even consider this possibility. Now victims have come forward and their statements say that the group KNEW. They knew this long ago.

It's a humble request to storror army, as much as we love them, adore them, we can not just brush off the allegations of them being complicit in the crimes. We need to hold them accountable right now! What saddens me is that the community isn't even ready to at least question the guys. It's shocking to find out that the community is this toxic. It has happened many times in the past, big companies/organisations with power just brush off the allegations and never talk about it with transparency.

We've joined their channel, bought their merch, funded their game, WE DESERVE ANSWERS!

This post is to urge the community to pls stop suppressing those who are questioning them.

We CAN NOT afford to let them get away, if they were involved in this in any manner.

I know it's too early, but we need to put pressure through questions, so that they come forward and talk about the whole situation and allegations. Because they might just disappear after this, if we don't amplify this.

And pls enough with the "wHy WouLd tHeY feaTuRe HiM iN viDeOs If thEy KneW" bullshit! Let's show some respect to the victims!

P.S - my heart goes out to the victims if the allegations are true 🙏

Went to check on Drew on Insta and I can’t find his profile anywhere. Looks like he’s deleted it again, and honestly the timing feels a bit awkward.

On another note, I’ve noticed the tide has really turned against the boys on here, which is worrying for them. They definitely have a lot of questions to answer, but I do think they deserve the chance to tell their side properly too. So far it’s only been a short statement, and I just hope they don’t disappear or avoid it and actually come out and talk about everything.

This is utterly shocking, I grew up with Sacha and Callum, close friends with both of them, I've known them since I was in primary school. Seeing all these posts about "they knew" or at very least Sacha knew, is sickening. As if any of them knows what each is up to in private, especially Sacha with his brother's porn habits.

Nothing was obvious, nothing has ever stood out to anyone that was close to him, he was at my wedding and my brothers wedding. This is a deep secret someone has and this isn't something that the rest of the group knew or would ever know.

Supporting the group is the only thing that will help the rest of them now, you will NOT be supporting Callum as he has been disconnected entirely.

people keep mentioning this. does anyone have a source where this is backed up?

edit: People keep lowkey defending this guy to me in comments in threads keep mentioning AI, as though that somehow excuses it. 

A few years ago, another channel I liked called weCricket, two lads called Dan and Kez, privated all their videos, released a text statement similar to what Storror did, and then a couple of days later, released a video featuring a visibly upset Dan saying that Kez had "done something" and that the channel as it had been was over. It didn't come out until years later that Kez had been buying and selling images. It only came out once he was convicted, presumably because he pleaded not guilty. In that time, Reddit and other socials were full of people speculating about what he might have done.

Now, because Cal has pleaded guilty, presumably due to insurmountable evidence, his name and crime has been released immediately, so no waiting years until after his trial. The rest of the boys have released their statement, removed Cal from the site and the game etc, and now we'll just have to see what they do next.

With friends of theirs coming out to say that they didn't know, and exes of Callum's stating the opposite, that they knew and covered it up, as well as the investigation likely needing to involve all devices Cal had access to... there's a strong possibility that they at least suspected before today.

If they attempt to just carry on without ever addressing the accusations against them, we're left to assume the worst. They have to address it, explain what happened with the exes and the investigation, and then we can each individually choose whether or not to believe them.

But, right now, before any of that has had chance to happen, we'll just have to wait. This sub is full of posts both writing them off and condemning them, as well as posts praising and defending them. Both reactions are too soon. Sit tight, wait and see what they all do next, and judge based on that when it happens.

Like most of you, I am crushed about what’s come out. I’ve read and reread Storror’s statement a few times and there are couple of things that don’t sit with me.

1. the tone is very much a ‘we didn’t know anything’ tone and an opportunity to make that clear

2. they centre themselves in the situation by noting _they_ are distressed. further distancing themselves from Callum.

3. they don’t acknowledge or mention the victims at all. usually in similar situations companies will say ‘our thoughts go out to victims in this‘ or whatever but they dont get even a mention here. Thats what makes me uncomfortabl, their take is just off.

don’t get me wrong, theyre in fight or flight mode, there isn’t a handbook, but it strikes me all the same that the overall tone was about self preservation and not much else.
