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.

    • Oh my god who the hell cares? People literally get offended and upset over everything it is ridiculous just shut up. Brfore anyone says anything i have no issues with Transgender people if they want to be like that then fine more power to them i am just sick of people getting all offended and speaking out for them like they know what it is like.

    • It's a joke, He's not transphobic he's telling a joke. You people who say shit like this make it look like you're no different than anti gay or ACTUAL transphobic people. Nothing is gonna change, you know why? [spoiler]you're part of the problem[/spoiler]

        • I don't think it was transphobic, I am a part of the LGBTQ+ community and if he used male pronouns or even used "transgender" instead of Caitlyn. Then it would be (more) transphobic.

          Who cares? Caitlyn Jenner doesn't deserve special treatment from jokes. It's a joke. People like to make fun of famous people. Don't bring Bungie into this.

        • It was a joke :/ Jokes aren't meant to offend... That's why they're jokes not serious comments. The only problem with social media is that everyone sees them and some people take them in a way they weren't intended... Just my opinion :/

          • How does this affect the game at all? Immsorry but this brings your intelligence into question. It's not like the ghost is linked to a headset he has and it says what he says.

            • I see your problem right there. You used twitter. A cesspool of self important, attention seeking narcissists who think the world should stop everytime they let a fart out.

              • No one gives a -blam!- about Caitlyn Jenner, since that -blam!- only cares about $$$$. Yea let me come out on national TV and "help" out people. Lol please, he took the highest bidder(which was ABC) and got promised the courage award from ESPN for doing absolutely nothing. While you have more deserving people that should of won that award. Caitlyn Jenner is a joke and I hope he goes to jail for killing that Asian lady with his truck.

                • All aboard the outrage wagon, not really offensive is it? People need to check themselves before launching a crusade against 'tyrants' such as Mr.North. I digress, you probably do a lot of charity work and have never said or made an offensive comment in a public forum ever

                • Lol. Anything regarding Jenner everyone gets so sensitive. Its like how they gave her the award for courage in sports. So many more deserving people of it.

                  • We should ban people for intelligentphobic comments. I am deeply offended by stupidity. We have to go through our entire lives constantly being barraged by moronic sentiment and its a leading cause of stress. Stress kills. Stop intelligentphobia now #yourea-blam!-ingmoron #intelligentphobiakills #mysanitymatters

                    • Transphobic. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Transphobia is the fear of transgendered persons. Specifically of the impact on society they may have. This does not mean they hate or terrorize them. That's just a typical approach transphobic people take to it. What Nolan tweeted was clearly a joke based around the fact that Jenner is originally a man. There is no transphobia involved. It was a picture of the Mona Lisa with a man's face. That's not transphobic at all. The representation of the art piece is the only thing possibly wrong with his tweet. If it didn't say Jenner, I bet 99% of people offended or complaining wouldn't even care. That's why so many people are complaining, not because it's offensive.

                      • Not really transphobic, more fat shaming if anything. If someone can't be critical of someone else just because they're trans, how is that fair?
