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.

  • Most of the people on these forums are probably transphobic too

  • Hmmm my original comment would have got me ninja warned for sure but let me just tell you to stop being a female dog & looking for problems. Everyone is so -blam!-ing sensitive nowadays.

  • How in what world is that transphobic? If anything it would be a chauvinistic remark or fat joke. Perhaps you should understand the difference between hate and tongue in cheek. Go on dip, explain to us how this is in the slightest transphobic?

  • How the -blam!- is that transphobic?! It's retards like you that keep that separation between different people. Stop looking for any excuse to play the gay/trans card

  • It's funny how saying anything on the Internet against anyone who's not a straight white man is automatically regarded as racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. If he had said something against straight people you would have been absolutely fine with it. That's just the double standard in society today. People who get mad because other people would be offended are stupid, because most of the time the group they're talking about isn't offended and they're just trying to make it into a goddamn drama. And this is his Twitter account, he can post whatever the heck he wants. His opinion shouldn't be oppressed by you idiots calling him transphobic. If he had said something against straight people, would you have called him "straightphobic?" (I'm assuming you're straight and think it's absolutely hilarious how people get more offended for comments directed at other people than comments directed at themselves.)

    • Jokes/comedy have no barriers. Way to take things out of context. I seriously doubt he is going to commit career suicide (due to the PC crowd).

    • How is this transphobic? Saying someone let them self go is an observation, not a hateful comment.

    • That's not transphobic. He's making a joke. Not judging or hating on transgender. Some people are just overly sensitive.

      • Would it be okay if a comedian said it? Probably. If anyone else says it tho, they're scum of the earth even if it's taken out of context.

      • Stop being butthurt. Maybe it's a joke on that individual and not all of trans.

      • Shut up. That shemale should be in jail and hopefully will be soon. That comment is not even transphobic, if that's even a thing. Stop being so sensitive and grow a pair.

        • As a quasi hex-gender omni bi-femasculine quarter-grey moonkin, this thread offends me. Why does no one see our plight the dirty tree and cat people are stealing our spotlight!

          • -blam!-in Nolan also sounds like a -blam!-in child. And now he's saying things like this? -blam!- that guy, hopefully a way to mute your ghost and only read subtitles.
