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.

  • Transphobic. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Transphobia is the fear of transgendered persons. Specifically of the impact on society they may have. This does not mean they hate or terrorize them. That's just a typical approach transphobic people take to it. What Nolan tweeted was clearly a joke based around the fact that Jenner is originally a man. There is no transphobia involved. It was a picture of the Mona Lisa with a man's face. That's not transphobic at all. The representation of the art piece is the only thing possibly wrong with his tweet. If it didn't say Jenner, I bet 99% of people offended or complaining wouldn't even care. That's why so many people are complaining, not because it's offensive.
