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.

Transphobia? Wtf? This is a thing? Is it not ok to not agree with everything in the world?

2 RepliesI thought it was funny. Way to go Nolan!!!

I thought this was the Destiny forums, not TMZ.

99% of people don't care what kind of underwear you are wearing or whether you aren't comfortable being the gender you are. I understand that for many of these glbt people, the primary issue in their mind that they have to "deal with" is their gender identity. But to everyone else, most of us don't care and have our own problems to worry about. Also, why do you care what other people think? People are dumb, just read these forums for 10 mins and you get a decent sampling of society these days.

Muted for SJW. This is why other countries laugh at us. So overly sensitive.

That shit was funny, and those things aren't a problem till some update attention whore comes out bitching about it.

[b]snowfi6916 stupid comment on bungie.net forums[/b] If you want snowfi6916 to stop whining, tell him to apologize for this thread. It has seriously lowered my anticipation for the future of society.

So what you're really saying is that transgender people have no sense of humor. I think, if an apology were in order, the request should come from KJ directly, to Nolan North, and not from you on a gaming forum.

Edited by WhoAteMyFunDip: 8/28/2015 6:34:15 PMJesus Christ, people get offended over the lamest shit. I support all walks of life and couldn't care less what people do -- as long as they're not hurting anyone, what do I care? I mean, who am I to tell anyone else how to live their life, right? HOWEVER, Caitlyn Jenner is a goddamn joke. "She's" not a hero, "she's" a solipsistic pseudo celeb who will do anything for attention and a paycheck, just like the rest of "her" shitty family. They've gotten a murderer off, had multiple sex tapes, let a porn star babysit their pre-teen daughters, got married for ratings, let their underage daughter get multiple plastic surgeries and now this shit. I don't take anything that family does seriously.

What flag should we ban this time?

1 ReplyEdited by TechRonin: 8/28/2015 6:48:23 PMTransphobic? Does anyone know what a phobia is these days? Just because people joke about things it does not mean to have an irrational fear. Are we just making up new words to shame people? If I make a joke about a 3 legged dog am I now a CanineTriAppendagephobic

You're easily offended.

Edited by Stanry Roo: 8/28/2015 7:40:56 PMWe have bigger concerns in the world than a voice actor making fun of people! Starvation, diseases, war, child labor, sex trade, slavery, terrorism, crime! A butthurt heshe is the last of our problems! [i]~About Me[/i]

She was in the spotlight for a while, so there are going to be jokes about her. Remember Bill Cosby? Jokes forever. Or Miley? There are still jokes. That's the nature of pop culture. There are going to be jokes. While his tweet might not be professional, or kind, he is doing what most people did during that time. Give the dude a break, and give Caitlyn a break as well.

Lmao, babies really will complain about everything

I have no idea what part of that comment is transphobic or in any way discriminatory against anyone. He called her fat. Who even cares?
-
Lel Get rekt FREAK!! Jk, seriously though he is a human with rights. He has the right to be a dumbass and voice his status as a dumbass, just like you have the right to become a narwhal. Freedom is a double edged sword, and like it or not hypocrisy is present in your commentary on him as a person. Who are you to ask for censorship? Especially given the subject?? Methinks attention post is seeking attention. Good day to you.

Oh great, the easily butthurt people have infiltrated the forums

2 RepliesJokes dont please everyone.

You're an idiot.

Lol -blam!- needs to get over it

Wow I don't see a transgender comment. That's an anybody comment. PS: Grow up
-
Keep your identity politics and rage culture slacktivism out of my video game space. Thank you. Good day.

8 RepliesIt's that transphobic? So just because a person is Transgender you can't make a light joke about that person? Isn't transphobia like a hatred towards that group or not wanting them to not have equal rights? I don't see how that tweet matches that.
-
13 RepliesThey commit suicide so often because Transgender is actually a mental illness. And we have a very serious mental health crisis in the world.

9 RepliesEdited by JupitersHold: 8/28/2015 6:15:48 PMGo back to tumblr where hipster fags and feminists actually care about this. It's a god damn joke about tranny's. SOMETHING THAT'S BECOMING NORMAL IN SOCIETY. What if he made fun of straights? Would he need to apologize for that? Probably not. Stop being a social justice bitch on a forum where people only give a shit about video games. A joke lowered your expectations on his voice?
