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.

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?

Edited by SILEN7 KILLER90: 8/28/2015 9:00:51 PMOh No he made a joke about someone being Transgendered.We must ban together to stone him so he may repent for all of his sins. I made a joke about my Black Friend being as dark as a T.V when its turned off.Have mercy on me for such a harmless joke.

Edited by Lancer: 8/28/2015 9:00:13 PMWow, thanks for sharing this, I almost never got to see it. GG Nolan for not being uptight. Funny guy. [spoiler]He also voice acts a German doctor from WW2, I guess you must think that he himself is one of those fascists since you're blatantly well educated.[/spoiler]

Damn such a low brow joke to make. I hope Twitter fries him for it. Problem is he isn't famous enough to really get in trouble. A few Destiny geeks thinks he's something but the rest of the world sure doesn't!

7 RepliesEdited by Hyacinth: 8/28/2015 8:03:22 PMTransphobic? Not even close. Why is it that every time someone says something that disagrees in any way with with the LGBT community, the offender is automatically an "x"-phobic? Do you people even know what it means to be a phobic of something? It's a crippling fear that millions struggle to deal with every day of their lives. By tossing around that term so casually, you are demeaning and making light of those who actually have a phobia. You make them seem like they and the condition they live with are insignificant. They are just as important as all the gay/transgender people. You want to talk about taking people seriously? Check your privilege.

[quote]41% of transgender people attempt suicide at some point during their life.[/quote] I would too if I was as -blam!-ed in the head as them.

Interesting that you should complain about an admittedly inadvisable joke on a forum literally awash with homophobic comments in almost every thread and yet these are left unchallenged.

Grow up, it's not Transphobic

Cry me -blam!-ing river

Get over your own self importance.

Meh, the man has an opinion about something and people get upset when it goes against their opinion of that something. Basically, everyone needs to get over themselves and stop being offended so easily.

19 RepliesThis is what is wrong with society today. People used to be able to take jokes, laugh at themselves. Now, anyone makes an off colored joke they get trashed talked and called intollerant and insensitive. People just need to develop a thick skin and stop being so damned sensitive.

Had he not re did the entire destiny voice over no one would give a chit about that tweet especially anyone on here
-
I wish people were as tolerant or accepting as they expect everyone else to be.
-
What a fcking baby and asswipe you are. Quit saying stuff like this to make you look like a too sensitive baby. Life is hard and things happen that you don't have to agree with. Are you perfect? Do you always say stuff that everyone can agree with?

guess people will cry about anything anymore. the amount of sheer stupidity in the world is only amplified as time goes on. 1) not transphobic in anyway, anyone who construes it as such is mentally handicapped and more than likely is incapable of coherent speech. and 2) if by any margin it was intended to be offensive its hardly even worth mentioning there are more subtle ways to insult people, 3) 97% of all statistics are made up on the spot 4) suicide is not a problem that only affects LGBT people it affects everyone of every race, every sexual orientation, every belief, adding that tidbit in to make it seem more offensive or convey that its more possible because they are LGBT that they will attempt it is simply absurd and shies away from the fact that suicide is a far larger problem than you make it appear by making statements like these and is in very bad taste. Further quit spreading your "I, we, they're special" kind of mentality with such statements its detrimental to the image these communities have worked hard to build, the only way "normal" people will see them as normal people is if such statements are no longer spread around, treating them as if they were walking carnival acts doesn't make them feel any better and only serves to further remind them that they're are a lot of people that will treat them differently because of who they are or what they believe in. Good day and #StopTheIgnorance.

The ironic thing is the new voice Nolan did got Ghost actually sounds like a transgender woman (who started as a man).
