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.

1 ReplyA) You are being way too sensitive, B) Thats not being transphobic. He called a woman, who once looked very healthy, not as appealing as before. Nowhere in there did he even mention that fact that she is transgender. You assume that because Nolan North gave a brief jab to someone that is transgender, that he is transphobic. You are the disgusting one here. Dont buy TTK if you dont want to, cause Destiny would probably be better if you didn't. [b]TL;DR: This isn't a Bungie fail, this is someone overreacting to a jab at Caitlyn Jenner that had nothing to do with her being trans [/b]

3 RepliesNo this is what's called funny. I have a very dark sense of humour...[spoiler]its darker than my toast after it's been coated in marmite[/spoiler]

I hope this post was supposed to be satire

7 RepliesWhy does he have to apologize? Because he said something that made you mad. I'm so sick of people thinking they have the right to not be offended. If you don't like what he said then f@&k off somewhere else. People have become so PC I feel like it's gonna ruin this country.

Bunch of cry babies! America is too sensitive now days. It's ridiculously that the country that dropped a-bombs on japan and killed millions can get offended about a joke!
-
Bungie please disregard this tool. If i got offended about everybody attacking white straight male Christians I'd never be able to leave my house. Let it go.
-
Uh oh, someone made a joke. Better hunt them down and burn them at the stake.

2 RepliesMy god you can't even take a breath without offending someone in today's society. Just take a friggin joke already....geez!

7 RepliesThey commit suicide due to mental illness. No mentally stable person would ever get to that point for any reason. They think they want to be another sex due to a mental illness, it has nothing to do with people not accepting them. Sexuality is one thing, thinking you were born the wrong sex is a diagnosed disorder of the brain.

2 RepliesGet the hell over yourself. So sick of "omg this transphobic doosh let's lynch him!". Why don't straight people wana go on riots when someone says a not really offensive word/words said to them? No it's only people like you. If you want equality then you are not free from criticism or commentary from anyone else get over it. Might as well ask for Bungie to use a robot as he would have no phobia towards any person. Because I'm sure Peter Dinklage has said stuff about straight people but they didn't go crying on some forums to it.

Yea, your post is hidden because it's -blam!-ing stupid. Thanks for trying though!

1 ReplyThanks, Obama

Wow. I expected a satire tag with that. In keeping with the theme though, when did peoples skins become so transparent ? Honestly I'm not sure what's worse, being offensive or being politically correct.
-
Dude seriously? That isn't transphobic. It's a joke. People make jokes about all different sorts of people and situations, it doesn't make them hate speech.
-
Looks pretty harmless to me. You know what would seem transphobic to me? Poking fun at all the other varied groups in life and excluding trans people.
-
That's not transphobic at all. Everyone irritates the shit out of me these days. Bunch of soft-shelled cry baby pusses. Used to be you could make a joke or voice your opinion without it making the news. The -blam!- is happening?
-
This has to be satire right? Because in an earlier post you said non trans people can't decide what's transphobic or not. Going by that logic someone of one race can't call out racism of another race.
-
3 RepliesNo. He has nothing to apologize for. Geez stop worshipping trans people. They're mentally ill.
-
2 RepliesEdited by Its Very Legit: 8/28/2015 3:52:01 PMShe (Caitlyn Jenner) is a very sensitive subject right now, Nolan probably didn't mean it in a negative way (remember Drake Bell?) either way, that doesn't mean he should be shunned from our community, accept the apology and move on. [spoiler]I could tweet "wow" to Caitlyn and people would drag me up and down through the street without even thinking about the context of "wow".[/spoiler]
-
Don't buy TTK please... One less person I have to deal with. Thank you
-
If you PM me with death threats, expect to get reported to Bungie and the police. Thanks.
-
What a fvcking pu$sy.
-
If you read the reply chain, the person he links talks about it...
-
How is that transphobic? If he said it to a woman, which he did, people would just call him an asshole... So call him an asshole
-
While he didn't apologize, he did backpedal and attempt to clarify his intent. The joke was in poor taste. Remember kids, "politically correct" is a politically correct way of saying "treating people with respect." Making comments or jokes that aren't "politically correct" is the same as "treating people with disrespect." It's not about thin skin, it's about not being a jerk to someone or making jokes at someone's expense. I have all the thick skin in the world after being in the army. But all that meant was being tolerant of intolerance. Grow up, make jokes that don't belittle people. Don't insult people or make baseless accusations and quit telling other people that they must endure you being a jerk or they are weak and/or inferior to you. You will be a better person and people will respect you more when you show more respect. I promise.
