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.

    Go back to tumblr where hipster fags and feminists actually care about this. It's a god damn joke about tranny's. SOMETHING THAT'S BECOMING NORMAL IN SOCIETY. What if he made fun of straights? Would he need to apologize for that? Probably not. Stop being a social justice bitch on a forum where people only give a shit about video games. A joke lowered your expectations on his voice?

    • Wait. This is offensive? Ya know if this is offensive to you than you must be in an isolated place with no contact with the world. Their are atrocities that dwarf this remark that happen all day everyday and you do not care. Than this random dude says that and you are offended? Why don't you use this energy to do something meaningful? If transgender is a specific topic that is dear to you why not actually do something about it. There are literally millions of things that are offensive in this world. This society has become so overly sensitive that everyone cries and screams change but does nothing else. You think a post is doing something? Come on. You want to post about suicide? Why not address the mass population of everyone who is depressed or suicidal. What are you saying? That transgender lives mean more than anyone else's??? What are you prejudice? Stop it. We are all in this world together. Whining and crying is not a solution. If you are truly that offended get an action plan with a peaceful process and go at it. Until then anyone who is "offended" and does nothing.... Is not really offended.

        Yeah seriously who the -blam!- cares. Freedom of speech. Oh yeah! And he's allowed to have an opinion. So if he doesn't like what Caitlin jenner's been doing to himself he has a right.

        • Really? Boohoo someone made a comment you find mean/hurtful give me a break get some thicker skin Everyone needs to grow up and not act like children. And if someone really attempted suicide because of this they need to seek professional help because they have other issues no way a normal person would take there own life because of that tweet #getserious

        • Oh grow up and get some thicker skin. It wasn't transphobic at all, and you're just stirring shit up. I'm sick of the obsession to be politically correct out of fear of making the slightest offense. And I'm also sick of the overuse of the term phobia. Phobia implies a fear of something, just because someone may not agree with a choice of lifestyle or gender preference does not mean there is an inherent fear.

            • Haha this isn't transphobic. He said nothing about her transgenderism. Another classic mistake of someone from the community with bad reading comprehension.

            • We call it humor. Is not for everyone, it may have some dark tones, but it is a joke and only a joke.

            • How is that transphobic? Sounds equally insulting to women. I think you're just being sexist.

            • Sorry while maybe in bad taste, there is nothing transphobic about the joke. Also if I made a joke about Morgan Freeman letting himself go I wouldn't be racist now would I?
