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.

  • 100% commit suicide. They kill the self their parents gave them. 41% are attention whores who couldn't pull the trigger.

  • What's transphobic about him making a joke about a man? There's no such thing as transgender because you can't change that chromosome... And when you're Bruce Jenner, you don't simply go from an outtie to an innie and expect nothing to come of it... Also the fact you say 41% of trannies attempt suicide... I see 41% who shoulda stayed what they were because they can't handle their decisions.

  • Why is that transphobic? He is talking about her appearance, not her gender

  • Actually, Im not transphobic, but I hate Caitlyn jenner to death, she is not the role model transgender people should be following. ________________________ Aside from that, Nolan did apologize, on that tweet, in your link, I suggest you learn to read before throwing insults. ____________________ Also, that was not a transphobic joke, obviously, you cant see that, because to you, any hate on Caitlyn Jenner must be a sign of transphobia.

    • I can guess you're American. Getting offended way too easily by a silly comment by someone who's irrelevant to you. By the way, I'm an American. No I'm not a pansie either

    • You must be a trans. All that means is your mentally incompetent to the gender your parents gave you. I think "trans" disrespects the parents that gave birth to them. They have you your identity, not the other way around.

      • Stop with the pussification of this world, please. It's a lighthearted joke that some people take way too seriously. "Oh but she's so brave yada yada yada" who cares anymore? There are bigger problems with this shit planet we live on and all we can focus on is not hurting the feelings of a transgender person.

        • Let's kill everyone who doesn't agree on what is politically correct! [spoiler]If someone insults your way of life and your happy with your life, shrug the insult off. As long as there are people on the Earth, there will always be insults flung at one another.[/spoiler]

        • Why is it that people can't joke about anything anymore? Caitlyn can do Caitlyn, but I'm going to crack jokes regardless because walking on eggshells doesn't make anything any better; it only creates more tension over something that should just be looked at as a normal thing (and we can joke about normal things right?). My generation is too politically correct, but it's only for the sake of being politically correct, not for the betterment of humanity. I'm sorry, but your Tumblr activism is nothing, but a shame to actual activists who go out, and stand up for what they believe in.

        • Um its not the jokes that keep us from taking them seriously. Its Bruce Jenner and the fact most of us could care less about your confusion.
