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.

Maybe you shouldnt be trans for attention then

I think it's funny how this "seriously" lowered your expectations when there are more disappointing things in TTK.
-
People make fun of celebrities all the time, just because the guy dresses like a woman doesn't make him off limits.
-
You don't suppose anyone's actually taking you seriously do you? Stop getting so offended so easily

Lmao! Nolan North is amazing for this
-
Looks like he made fun of a public sideshow. Nothing to see here everything is in order

7 RepliesWithout context you can't even tell what he's talking about. No matter if he's talking her appearance or even perhaps the car accident where she killed someone, neither were transphobic. Stop fishing for offensiveness.

Edited by Fancy: 8/28/2015 6:06:17 PMThanks for the link I like that this new ghost has an amazing sense of humor unlike you. Also I believe the joke was about getting fat not getting tits...

I'm sure Bruce appreciates you.

Grow a pair if you can't laugh at yourself then don't bother expressing yourself for minor jokes
-
Thx for the heads up... I'm now digging this Nolan dude!
-
Hey tumblr how you doing
-
I'm not sure how that is transphobic. I'm not saying you are wrong but what is the problem. This was about a specific person. Am I missing more? Were there other tweets from Mr. North that I can use to put things into context? From my point of view, it seems that someone else has labeled those comments as transphobic. Again, I am not here to belittle anyone, certainly not your assertion about those comments. I am just trying to understand the context in which they could be seen as transphobic.

I never heard of transphobia before you used it, but apparently, everyone on twitter knows it. I try to live by the rule, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then say nothing." But I think society is far too sensitive these days. I heard worse directed towards me when I was in middle school. If you don't want to play ttk because of one persons opinion, a joke at that, then don't play.

3 RepliesNot sure how this is transphobic. Saying someone looks like a dude is not transphobia. If anyone kills themselves over twitter comments from a total stranger, they've got deeper seeded issues to deal with...regardless of gender or cross gender or whatever.
-
Lol that's funny
-
Life of Nolan north. *Makes joke on Twitter* People get angry
-
It has raised my anticipation
-
Lol that shits funny
