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.

  • Look I'm all for equal treatment, but where do we draw the line? Jokes are made about LITERALLY every race, ethnicity, gender, orientation, profession, religion, and every other thing you can think of! Should we ban every single offensive thing ever? Because jokes would basically disappear. To that point, look at all the people that think video games are a huge negative influence. Shall we ban those too, since someone somewhere was offended? I'm not defending comments that are actually discriminatory in any way, but this was clearly a lame joke. Freedom of speech isn't always pretty, but it is his right. If you live your life avoiding or destroying things that could potentially offend you, I think you'll find yourself very lonely and unhappy in the long run.
