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.

Edited by TechRonin: 8/28/2015 8:36:44 PMBy using the term "transphobic" to characterize Nolan outside of a clinical setting and without a degree in Psychology you are both being extremely offensive to Nolan and to Arachnophobics and all others diagnosed with a phobia. Your insensitivity to people with mental disorders is appalling and your employer should be made aware so they can fire you to avoid being tainted by your hate speech. Thank s to XHyacinthX for pointing this out. [quote]XHyacinthX Transphobic? Not even close. Why is it that every time someone says something that disagrees in any way with with the LGBT community, the offender is automatically an "x"-phobic? Do you people even know what it means to be a phobic of something? It's a crippling fear that millions struggle to deal with every day of their lives. By tossing around that term so casually, you are demeaning and making light of those who actually have a phobia. You make them seem like they and the condition they live with are insignificant. They are just as important as all the gay/transgender people. You want to talk insensitive? Check your privilege.[/quote]
