Nolan North Transphobic Comment on Twitter
https://twitter.com/nolan_north/status/636942232629587968
Hey Bungie, maybe not hire people that make transphobic jokes like these?
41% of transgender people attempt suicide at some point during their life. Jokes like these lead to our society not taking trans people seriously.
If you want Nolan North to do the Ghost voice for you, tell him to apologize for this comment. It has seriously lowered my anticipation for TTK. Thanks.

People... Get off the anyone-who-says-anything-about-Caitlyn-Jenner-other-than-she-is-the-greatest- is-transphobic bandwagon! People are allowed to have opinions even if they are bad and offensive ones.
-
Am i suppost to care at all?

Cause everyone has to be so damn politically correct? Who gives a shit people that find anything that expresses an opinion outside of the new norm as offensive and deserves to be punished. The -blam!-ing idiots that came up with the judicial systematic punishment for opinions should have never been taken seriously. Homophobic was a joke, just because someone doesn't agree suddenly they have a phobia of them? No. That's not how life works people everyone in this world is entitled to their opinion and no self righteous group of people that have to beg to be treated the same (when the only thing that really they don't get is a piece of paper {which has now been legally resolved} and for people to look at them eye level) IRS just pathetic, I was/am a dork. I wasn't taken seriously I put up with shit but I new better then to think about the leaders in life and the opinions of me and my way of having fun and goofing off. [spoiler]no I'm not homophobic transphobic or any other ludicrous accusations you will throw my way. Do i support them? No. Will I? Nope. Do I care of they are treated fair or unfair? They have to prove themselves to those who put them down. But saying this no I do not hate them, I do not wish them harm, I just don't care much for their cause and I'll let what happens with it happen good for them if it works oh well if not.[/spoiler] Now please explain to me how anything I said was morally wrong. And yes I do have a couple of gay cousins I look them in the face like I do any other family but I forget how they are so I don't see them any different. If they asked for my support I would decline cause family or not I do not wish to be associated with such pointless causes

I've never been a fan of Caitlyn Jenner, so good on Nolan North for making a joke even though he knows a bunch of White Knights are gonna hate on him for it.
-
I don't care if he makes jokes about anyone or any group. I'm not overly sensitive.
-
-blam!- transgender . this is the internet when we don't give a danm. They are disgrace to society anyways.
-
How is transphobia related #Destiny? I don't see any relevant connections
-
Muted
-
Is this gonna start a massive war like it did triple wreck telling someone to kill themselves
-
NEVER watch any of Jimmy Carr's tours... Ever... And he isn't even that offensive compared to others... He's still allowed on the BBC, after all.
-

-
You are what's wrong with modern society. Grow a pair or stay away from the internet. Can't even take a joke.
-

We want to make sure we are all politically correct otherwise you sir are a homophob, transphob or just racist. We need to wake up as a country. Our kids can't even bring in birthday invitations, or valentine's for fear of somebody being left out and making them upset. When did everybody start getting trophies for just showing up. Well guess what not everybody is a winner in life. We are raising a bunch of pussies that are nowhere near as mentally strong as we are and the generations before us. Do you know why? We didn't all get trophies, we didn't all get invites or valentines. I for one will speak my mind because that is my right. So stop trying to tell others what to do. We don't all have to be pc. So please just stop. I am hoping my kids start to grow up in this country the way I did. Hell the way we all did.

Not transphobia, just a funny joke. People are dumb, nothing more to see here.
-
Shut up.
-
NO THE JOKE WASNT EVEN BAD
-
Nolan did nothing wrong
-
This pretty much sums up how I feel about jokes.
-
You douche. What the hell is phobic about it?
-
Okay, I hate trolling, but shut up. It was clearly a joke on the twitter account. Bungie also has no association with what he posts on his personal account.
-
Edited by hx: 8/28/2015 8:32:30 PMOh my god he sent a tweet directly after saying it was a joke between him and his male friend "Who is not a pretty girl"
-
Gimme a break he said nothing at all transphobic and the comment is kinda true sooo go back under your bridge
-
Oof. Looks like North apologized (sorta) in a follow up tweet, but still, poor taste.

1 ReplyGo back to tumblr. The comment was a bit rude, but who seriously gives a shit?
