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.

Because it is disgusting

Freedom, freedom of speech. He's aloud to say what he wants and have his own opinions same as you.

No one cares

Edited by Tinkler22: 8/29/2015 2:45:03 PMSeriously? Have a little thicker skin, the amount of people that constantly get "offended" by every little thing now is mind boggling. Why do you care what he thinks or posts? You've never met him, you've never interacted with him... If nothing else getting offended is just trying to get attention, just like this thread.

Except it's not transphobic, but is instead insensitive. I don't know Mr North, but being a public figure and posting on his own public twitter account, I don't think there was any malice or "ist", "ism" or "ic" intent. So no, Bungie should not take any steps to stop working with him or get involved.

Edited by Talk2MeToner: 8/29/2015 2:26:11 PM1. You're an idiot 2. I am so glad I'm not a celebrity so the little pre teens of the world who just learned what trans means can analyze everything I say and call me this and that when the day before they were calling their friend a fag for whatever reason. If I were a celebrity I would suck at it cuz I would straight up be like "calm down you whiny little pre-teens pretending to have your own ideals and values when you should be watching cartoons"

Does it get old finding things to be offended about? I hope he doesn't crack a bald short joke, I may get upset. Whether your gay, black, Asian, Arab, transgender, fat, tall, short, skinny, strong, dumb, smart, or any other 'sect' you want to identify yourself as please try to stop getting so offended any time someone mentions a insecurity you have about yourself or another group. Your time spent would be a lot more fun, and way less stressful. Or keep fighting 'the good fight' and drumming up more controversies. FUN! AND HEROIC!

This has nothing to do with transphobia. Clearly, he's making a comment on opinion just like every single person does on social media. I love wannabe Social-Justice Warriors.

Have you tried crying about it?

People always find something to complain about

It's not really transphobic, if he said that about some heterosexual person it would have been passed off as a jab/joke but just because caitlyn happens to be Trans it's suddenly transphobic. Point is, people are insulted or have jokes said about them every day and no one cares or makes it an issue but as soon as someone does that to a homosexual or transgendered person your either homophobic or transphobic and people take it far too seriously.

Get over it

Everyone is so damn PC. Let it go, if he wants to look like an asshat, let him.

5000 children die a day in Africa by dirty water, real statistic. And your worried about what a voice actor said about a man/lady( yes, man lady, unless they can alter your "GENES" you are what you are)

Political correctness gone mad!

Well this is what murica has come to? Lol if a joke makes you want to kill yourself then i think you have much bigger problems than not knowing what to be
-
I'm against the transphobia. But you just sound plain stupid if a joke some guy made lowered your anticipation for a game haha
-
It's a joke not a dick. Don't take it so hard Nancy.

Jesus Christ. We can't say this about regular gender? People say it all the time to females or males.
