    Sorry for ruining the joke, but the character can be female even though the actor isn’t

      Yeah, honestly, stuff like this is just telling the world that you don’t know what acting is.

      What if an actor comes out as non-binary? Are you suddenly convinced that every character they’ve ever played is non-binary?

      Are gay actors not allowed to play straight characters?

      Do actors have to be exactly the same age as the characters they portray? What about when the actor gets older? Does that retroactively make all of their characters older?

      I know they’re doing this as a bit, but it’s bad bit that reinforces stupid ideas about trans actors. Let trans people portray whoever the fuck they want to portray and stop turning it into a whole thing.

      The Bible is an anthology (a compilation of texts of a variety of forms) originally written in Hebrew (with some parts in Aramaic) and Koine Greek.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible

      60.87% of these words were in somebody’s English interpretation of the bible, but not the bible.

      Does

      Genesis 37:10:

      And when he had related this to his father and brothers, his father rebuked him, and he said: “What does it mean to you, this dream that you have seen? Should I, and your mother, and your brothers reverence you upon the earth?”

        They’re almost certainly just using one translation - probably KJV since I don’t find any instances of “does” in that version, they would all be “doth” or “hast” most likely. I guess it’s just a meme so it doesn’t really matter if you half-ass it, but it’s definitely not the best way of doing it.

        “Sex” is also definitely in the NIV and some other translations.

          yeah I mean no English words except false cognates are in the Bible without translation, so it’s a meaningless question.

          In fact the words in the first half of the Bible aren’t in the second half because the first half is Hebrew/Aramaic and the second half is Koine Greek.
