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.

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.

Let my friend Google enlighten you. (A phobia is a type of anxiety disorder, usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation in which the sufferer commits to great lengths in avoiding, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed, often being recognized as irrational.) You're reading comprehension, needs some work. If anything, Nolan is just being insensitive

So is it transphobic because he said Caitly Jenner or is it transphobic because of the photoshopped Mona Lisa? Or is it not transphobic - because it isn't - and you and others like you just want to be offended by everything in the world that doesn't conform to your ideology?
-
Not ready transphobic if he's just making a joke. Personally I thought it was pretty damn funny!

6 RepliesMy daughter is "gender fluid" as she calls it. She identifies as a boy but is still trying to figure this all out. And she has the BEST sense of humor. She doesn't need "heroes" like you coming to her damn rescue on message boards. Seriously, shut up. You're making her look bad.
-
I did not see any transgender joke, in fact I did not see any joke. I dont spend that much time worrying about Caitlyn Jenner.
-
^op os a chick with a small penis =) you offened herm apologize
-
Anybody pretending to be offended by this will peak as a manager at McDonald's.
-
Its too bad we can't vote to ban the op.
-
How is this transphobic? Please respond. I'd like to hear your rational behind all this.
-
So you probably got mad that bungie made fun of dinklebot for being short, "little light". Does bungie need to apologize for that as well?

1 ReplyPosts like this are going to guarantee a Republican will win the next US presidency. Liberalism is getting so fvcking radical and crazy.

Where is butthurt when you need him? Sir, you are needed!
-
Lol it's a joke about a person, if it was just a "normal" guy or girl then it would be okay smh
-
4 RepliesAnyone who willingly has their penis removed and then tells others about it should expect to be made fun of. Period.
-
Use only as directed by your proctologist.

How the -blam!- is that transphobic? If a slapstick comedy had a gay guy slip on a banana peel, would that be homophobic?
-
Or Bungie could hire people that are qualified to do the job and not give a shit about their personal lives/beliefs?
-
I want you to apologize for your post on this forum. I feel offended by your opinion and want you to post an apology if you want to continue playing Destiny. [spoiler]See how ridiculous your post actually is?[/spoiler]

Edited by RetroActive: 8/28/2015 4:00:29 PMI don't see anything wrong with that tweet. It's super sensitive people like you that are ruining society, not innocuous jokes like Nolan North made... To add, Iet me tell you how this hyper-sensitive culture affects people. I was getting coffee at work the other day, and I felt awkward when I said "I like my coffee black" when there was a black co-worker standing next to me. I'm afraid to say a COLOR around people of African descent! Ridiculous.

This Nolan guy is a real asshole. First he steals a midget's job, now he's making fun of trannies.
