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.

Sigh. Get the -blam!- off the internet if you don't want to be offended. -blam!- political correctness. People can say what they want. People can express their opinions. People can make jokes. If it offends you please kindly go -blam!- your own face.
-
So is joking about a single trans person transphobic now?
-
How is that in any way transphobic? I can't wait for the day that were all humorless robots without any gender assignment, then we can all be unhappy at the same time.
-
Aren't transgender people just public liars with no consequences? You're protecting the wrong people
-
You're stupid if you're letting a joke made by a voice actor affect your opinion on a game. Plain and simple.

Grow a pair

Edited by Jambob1998: 8/28/2015 8:29:26 PMI don't see anything Transphobic about his comment? I mean, he acknowledged she's a woman, and is just making a comment like any other person does. Like, if someone was to say wow you've really let yourself go about any other person like that one woman from Atomic Kitten, Kerry Katona? it wouldn't be a big deal in my opinion :/ Unless of course Caitlyn is a taboo and should never be spoken of, and that would be stupid, cos then that just makes others think it's wrong to become who you feel deep down that you should be. Also, if you let a comment he made alter how you feel about a game... Wow, seriously? ._ .

People are to sensitive, they need to grow up. Face the real world, I'm sick of overly sensitive sissies.

what a -blam!-ing loser get a life

Welcome to America where everyone is offended by the slightest thing and almost everyone now sits to pee.

STFU. People like you are why this world is wrong. Everyone trying to do the "right thing" makes it wrong. We can tolerate alternative lifestyles all day, but we don't have to kiss thier ass in the process. I understand and tolerate that people are transgender and/or gay, my 15 yr old step son is both. That doesn't mean I agree with his flamboyant dress and lifestyle, but I do love and support him. At the end of the day a joke is a joke, if you can't handle the fire then get out of the kitchen. Most transgender and/or gay people get this. It's people like you who don't realize that a joke here and there isn't the problem, it's hate and people who blatantly go after them personally that is the problem. It's the fact they feel alone and that they aren't allowed to be who they want to be that causes them self-hatred and pain, which can ultimately bring them towards sucide, not a simple, tasteless joke.

Edited by contra_reality: 8/28/2015 8:19:06 PMIt is trans, or any other demographic for that matter, people's inability to take a joke without bitching about inequality that leads to our society not taking them seriously, not the actual jokes...

7 RepliesOh and shut up about transphobia. It's a completely made up word just like being transgender is made up. If you want to be a woman go to a psychiatrist. Your gender shouldn't be something that people can just change.
-
There freedom of speech he can say what he wants
-
How about get a thicker skin? shit like this gets posted regularly about non-transgender people on a daily basis, yet people like you are silent. They wanted to be treated equally, this is part of that equal package they lobbied so long for.
-
No this post isn't true one bit. Jokes are not the reason why society doesn't take transgenders seriously nor is it the reason there is a such a high suicide rate. Jokes are just that...jokes. They should never be taken to heart I never understand people that get so offended over a joke. It's ridiculous! The reason there is such a high suicide rate among the transgender is because of religious bigotry and their own families unwilling to accept them so they feel alone and unloved. Maybe spend more of your time not posting bullshit on a gaming forum and instead actually understand the problem itself.

Edited by Veda: 8/28/2015 8:09:13 PMWhy must we over react to everything? It was a joke. RELAX

If people don't want their sexual status made fun of then keep it to yourself. Who gives a crap what you do or how you feel about yourself? And you have a misconception of the word phobic. Look it up job the dictionary. Irrational fear of does not equate a moral disagreement based on your lifestyle.

4 Replieshahah best tweet I've seen in a while. Thanks for the share. Transphobic my ass. Get your ass back to Reddit
-
I literally couldn't care less. Go home kid, you're drunk.
-
Yeah the worlds too sensitive. Let the man say what he wants
-
Someone's a little sensitive. Don't be a pussy, or do be a pussy?(Whichever is politically correct).
-
Its funny how everyone gets so offended so easily now a days.
-
Edited by Zoom In: 8/28/2015 8:17:41 PMIt's so annoying how people get so offended by the littlest stuff nowadays. Like seriously, shut up and grow a pair. Plus you got the retards misinterpreting this as transphobic.

2 RepliesGive me a break..... I thought this was a destiny forum not Tumblr.
