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.

  • If a comment made in jest by a well known celebrity figure towards another well known celebrity figure hampers your excitement for a game they happen to be present in, you really need to reevaluate what rustles your jimmies. And you probably should get off social media, shit happens a lot.

  • Everyone gets so offended by everything nowadays. It's kinda sad. And it deeply offends me. I no longer anticipate your next post, OP.

  • Doesn't seem transphobic, personally insenstive maybe but no one would care if it were toward someone male or female...

  • Is North actually transgender? Because if not this isn't really all that relevant

  • I don't get it? Nolan made a poor joke about Caitlynn Jenner specifically, how is that generally transphobic? More to the point he's focusing on a joke about looks which is the kind of joke usually targeted at women so doesn't that kind of mean he's treating Caitlynn like an actual woman or something? Methinks you're being way overly sensitive dude.

  • It's a joke, pretty funny one, do you demand apologies from all the comedians that make jokes like these as well? If not worse?

  • Alucard: If your going to have a dick fighting competition with a woman you must have started off with the world's cruelest handicap. Which I'm sure benefits the 9 year old chained up in your jet. Which was paid off how? By your followers spreading the word of God... All over his back. Amazing TFS reference

  • Stfu. Seriously you got to be kidding me. Can't even have a little fun without calling someone homophobic, transphobic, or racist in this era. Think about what you're saying instead of being part of the brainwashed nanny surveillance state. Now be a good citizen and turn your tv back on. Thinking obviously isn't your strong suit.

      He's a video game voice actor, not Obama. People aren't going to be 'transphobic', or change their opinion because a video game voice actor said something that upset you. I'm all for not stepping on toes and not saying offensive things. But more and more, I'm starting to realize people are too sensitive. I hope this isn't a serious post.

    • Who the -blam!- cares? Society gets all butt hurt over stupid shit. Guess what? If someone said shit like that about someone who is actually a woman as a joke, people would think nothing of it aside from the most extreme femenists. If he gets in trouble over such a stupid thing, it just shows how badly "protected" groups have taken advantage of the "poor me" bullshit. Also, people will forget all about this by the end of the weekend when someone else makes a comment that puts the world up in arms. So like I said, who the -blam!- cares? If you are so worried about it, you should probably rethink your life and priorities.
