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.

  • The great thing about America is that people are free to say as they will. It may be good, bad, racist, kind, inclusive or insulting, but it is a God given right none the less. People get so worked up over this he said she said crap, instead of just ignoring and moving on.

  • You and everyone that is "offended" by this are -blam!-ing morons. You degrade the gene pool.

    Oh No! Nolan made a joke on his own, personal, twitter account! He shouldn't be allowed to have a job! Somebody please do something about it! Maybe we should all be a little less sensitive. Did he try to take away these peoples rights? No. Did he assault them physically? No. Did he come into their homes and attack them? No. If you don't like what he has to say, then ignore him. Here's a scenario: lets say that my name is Juan Maria Yashimoto. Nolan north on his own twitter account says "Juan Maria Yashimoto is an ass wipe" straight up inulting right? Do i go to the bungie forum and say "Bungie, Nolan North insulted me. You should fire him or make him apologize!" Hell no! I go to nolan norths twitter page and call him a -blam!- head, and then let it go. If i'm not feeling especially anxious that day, i just ignore it in the first place. Who cares!? Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me. Feel free to berate me and call me a scumbag for my opinion, but i promise you, even if that comment had been directly towards me or a social group that i identify with i would feel exactly the same. Who cares?

    Umm he referred to Caitlyn as "herself" which is what she wanted isn't it? How is saying she let herself go transphobic? He's saying she's getting fat, which is also insensitive but I don't see anything transphobic about it. She's a -blam!-ing person like everyone else, not some god damned idol that is immune to people making jokes about her. If someone does make a joke on her don't be so quick to slap on "transphobic" unless that's clearly what it is. Jesus Christ people just want there to be controversy.

    or how about you STFU and not judge people you hateful bigot did you know that most of those suicides you talk about are actually post surgery because people told them to "follow there heart" and then they wake up and realise they destroyed there bodies and there is no way back? It is a scientific mental illness you looser look it up, John Hopkins a name everyone knows was the first to make trans surgeries, he has no stopped and advocates on how dangerous it can be so stfu and stop helping mental people hurt themselves, egging them on does not help.

    • I don't see anything "phobic" at all, he mentioned that Jenner was already letting herself go. Meaning at one point to him she looked good. It's a joke, get it? I am Hispanic and can laugh when people make fun of my race. If I personally don't like what someone says, I stop listening. I don't run and tell my mommy and everyone else about it. I'm sure you will be offended by me saying Hispanic or something like I don't represent all Hispanics... I'm sick of cry babies. (No offense to babies, I think babies are cute). See what you did there? Now I've got the whole pro baby movement after me.

    • North is a funny guy so he says funny things. Comedians do the same thing. America needs to get a big slap in the face so this PC bullshit goes away. There was a time where kids throwing a fit in public got thier ass whipped by thier parents. Now no one can do anything because the kid somehow became autistic. Its a joke. Who cares if he offends anyone? Trump is pretty much insulting an ENTIRE race yet America is suckin the seed from his scrotum. Get outta here with that bs. He shouldn't apologize. America should apologize to the countless lives lost defending its freedoms only for it to turn into a giant spelunkable vagina.

    • Hey OP. Maybe not be a butthurt pussy for once? Deal with it. Our society is soft as -blam!- and people like you aren't helping.
