Warframe Voice Actor Calls Out World of Warcraft and Diablo 2’s Former Team Lead for Archaic and Disgusting Tweet

Popular Voice Actor Rhiannon Moushall, who has voiced for Rise of the Ronin, called out former Blizzard Entertainment Team Lead for World of Warcraft, Mark Kern, for posting an offensive post on X. Kern posted a collage featuring female characters from several games, with a message stating that beautiful women are marginalized and unrepresented.

Moushall quote-posted, pointing out that the post sounded ****** and weird. Moushall also pointed out that the collage contained a picture of an underage character. The collage itself wasn’t originally made by Kern either, as the same collage was earlier featured in a

Former World of Warcraft Team Lead Mark Kern Under ***** for Offensive Post

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=

Former World of Warcraft Lead Mark Kern’s post on X was found highly offensive by those who follow him.

Mark Kern, who’s known for his work with World of Warcraft at Blizzard Entertainment, posted a collage of women as depicted in different games, mentioning how “beautiful women are the most marginalized and unrepresented.“. This post was called out by Voice Actor Rhiannon Moushall, who said she found it exhausting.

This is such a ******, weird take… a reminder that some don’t want us in games unless we appeal ********* (and somehow universally) to straight men. It’s so ******** exhausting…

Also, isn’t there a literal child in that collage???

One look at Kern’s account on X will become rather evident as to why his offensive post wasn’t as surprising, as Kern had posted and re-posted several similar posts before, too. Fans who replied to Moushall’s post had also pointed out the same, as one of the replies mentioned Kern being “relentless“.

Moushall also pointed out that the collage had a picture of an underage character, Billie, from Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (2017). Billie was voiced by Bresha Webb, who is a nine-year-old girl in the game, and Moushall called out Kern for having used a collage that included a child character, adding to the list of characters he found displeasing.

A lot of those who replied to Kern’s post also pointed out how the collage contained multiple pictures of Debra Wilson.

There is no ******** way you put 3 characters voiced and based off Debra Wilson on her implying they’re ugly…

Some takes you have are great, but man is this one coming off with some serious incel vibes.

Kern did not reply to any of the comments left on his post or to Moushall’s quote-post. Barring a few of those who commented, most of them disagreed and asked Kern to delete the post. Interestingly, the collage itself was posted on

Dishonored was one of the games featured in the collage.

back in 2021, with the original poster meaning to showcase how the devs are “finally breaking conventional beauty standards in video games.”

The post had a positive flair and was meant to showcase just how diverse characters have become in gaming titles, and most of the comments were in agreement as well.

One of the comments mentioned that while the idea of making characters look more natural was a good idea, the expression sometimes fails far too badly. A reply to it mentioned just how difficult it was to get the face animations right.

The former World of Warcraft Lead’s post, however, flipped the intent behind the collage and was rightfully pointed out by those who commented, but the post at the time of writing this is still online. Moushall did a good job of highlighting how the status quo hasn’t changed much.
