And the Hicksville residents come out of the woodwork of Destiny's official forums. Which isn't hard to do in these forums in the first place as a good portion are somehow related to Hitler in their own words.
If Drake Bell can apologize for an insensitive joke, than so can Noland.
It was insensitive and makes light of the trans community. The more you laugh at something the less you take it seriously. Like Destiny.
Welcome to the Real World where sometimes being a decent human being means more than a poor joke you and the residents of Hicksville think is funny.
Inb4 the Destiny community thinks apologies are somehow immasculating and chopping their balls off

I don't get where you stand but I don't like it because you type a lot to look smart.
-
I stand on the side that apologizing isn't hard. It's easy, if you look at my reply to my comment even I did it, mostly because replying to 60+ in that fashion is being a smart ass and replying once is so much easier.
-
And Hicksville isn't insensitive?
-
Okay Hicksville was very insensitive of me. As a big person and a decent human being I am now apologizing for the insensitive comment I made which is insulting for a lot of people, 66 around the time I'm making this. To the 66 who live in rural areas or just find the insult insulting, I apologize. There are many people who live in rural areas who are decent human beings capable of apologizing even if they feel as though they did nothing wrong. I for one know I did something wrong and as a decent human being who lives in the real world where people can apologize for insensitive and insulting things because we're adults who don't use excuses like 'thick skin' to justify being an asshole. As you can see, a decent human being can admit their wrong doing and apologize. Even if they believe they did nothing wrong. Take a step back and analyze what I just did. I apologized for using the insult Hicksville, which is insulting, I did not tell you all to gain a thick skin, this is what Noland North can do. It really takes no effort to apologize for something, even for someone as prideful as I am. As you can see the world, the real one, is becoming a better place where we actually care about each other rather than use excuses for being dicks. Now Noland is no dick. He just made a mistake. Noland isn't transphobic, as far as I know, so he can apologize like a decent human being. Apologizing is really simple. One of the easiest things to do and we learn to do at a young age. We all don't have to be prideful dicks, instead we can all be decent human beings and make the world a better place. Noland North is probably from what I can tell is not a prideful dick. So he is probably going to apologize for making an insensitive joke. Because I have faith in him. All of you pointed out my hypocrisy which I do admit that was, a lot. Hopefully you can learn from my kind words. I'm sorry I offended you. Apologies, as simple as that.

Edited by freshlydunbread: 8/29/2015 4:13:57 AMPeople aren't offended by your comment, they are pointing out that you look dumb for being a hypocrite in literally the same post. You don't need to apologize for offending anyone, and I'm sure the 66+ people recognize that.

[quote]As you can see, a decent human being can admit their wrong doing and apologize. Even if they believe they did nothing wrong.[/quote] An apology without sincerity, or a genuine understanding of why it was wrong, is a smattering of useless words cast out into the wind. Only apologize when you believe it.

That's where education comes in. But that mostly depends on what type of person you are. I know why Hicksville is offensive, but I know many people don't know why Noland's tweet is offensive. A simple Google search of the word transgender might clear that up. But that all depends on the person and if they are willing to educate themselves. But I have faith that people can use google.
-
I like how you're intolerant of a joke but you purposely use "Hicksville" as an insult. Why is it acceptable to discriminate against some people but not others? You're a hypocrite, plain and simple.
-
So apparently the world doesn't take any race, religion, gender, or financial status seriously then. Because everything gets made fun of. Stop thinking trans people are above everyone else.
-
Talks about sensitivity. Leads with Hicksville. Hypocrisy much?
-
Shut up sensitive Sally. Jenner should be in jail and if the legal works like it's supposed to it will be behind bars very soon. So shut up.
-
[quote]it was insensitive[/quote] So do what every -blam!-ing man has learned to do in the face of insensitivity and grow a thicker skin. Now get back to earning that liberal arts degree so you can ask me if I want fries with that in the most inoffensive way possible
-
That's the thing, I don't find it funny. But if he can't be critical of someone because they're trans, how is that fair? Especially since the criticism had nothing to do with Caitlyn being trans.
-
Irony in a nutshell. Stop the Hicksvillephobia. You are trampling all over our delicate sensibilities. Our sense of humor will soon be replaced by gag orders.
-
There's this thing called freedom of speech. Your political correctness offends me.

[/quote] Welcome to the Real World where sometimes being a decent human being means more than a poor joke you and the residents of Hicksville think is funny. Inb4 the Destiny community thinks apologies are somehow immasculating and chopping their balls off[/quote] Why discuss being a decent human being, when being transgender in public is literally lying to the other humans around you? Its a facade, a trick, and often results in others breaking their morals or preferences by being tricked by a transgender. Good job

Edited by ButDemBroncosDoe: 8/28/2015 8:36:11 PMFirst things first Drake and Josh was an amazing show. Second thing this is one of the biggest flaws in society today. No Nolan North shouldn't have to apologize for a joke. Because that's all it is, a joke. If you think his joke warrants an apology you are simply flatout wrong. This was not a hateful joke nor was it transphobic. This is just another case of someone getting butthurt over nothing. Also I demand an apology for the hicksville joke. It was insensitive to stereotype and put a label on those who disagree with you, you -blam!-ing bigot.
-
[quote]And the Hicksville residents come out of the woodwork of Destiny's official forums. [/quote] So it's okay to blatantly insult people and everything is okay BUT when someone makes an assumption that something might be offensive the world -blam!-ing implodes? Just in case you don't understand what I am trying to say I'll explain it for you. You are a hypocrite. That's not an insult, it's a fact.
-
LOL! I didn't even read all the posts before I sent my first message. This is too funny... You really should apologize to the residents of "Hicksville". After all and by your own logic, if Drake Bell can apologize for an insensitive joke, then so can FlutterYuu. :)
-
Oh get over it. You're being overly sensitive.
-
"Hicksville"? So anytime another person tries to defend a person, who may have what they said taken out of context, they are from what you call Hicksville......wow, what a Hickaphobe. (I know you like what I did there.) BTW, you want to take a jab at the "Hicks" of the community, but you can't seem to use the correct word selection in your own "I'm highly educated and new age" post. I will help you. The following should read "...then so can Noland.".
-
It's bullshit that every time someone says something it's under a -blam!-ing microscope. Who gives a -blam!-. Put your big girl panties on and live life you pussy
-
Hey, how bout you eat that Jenner thing's junk. Better yet, go poke a gorilla in the eye. We really need to bring back natural selection.

Absofu ckinlutely. Pussies that cant deal with being offended shoulda died off long ago. Instead, we're left to suffer these wastes of skin.
