No one that speaks German can be evil.

Assuming gender, it should be "der Bart", "die" is female.

We native speakers of German tend to just shake our heads at that entire scene when we watch the German dub, no part of it works well. 🫤

Thats not exactly how it works. For instance, "little girl" gets the neutral article: "das mädchen"

Sure, but given names generally reflect the gender of the person in the grammatical gender. In other words, you generally use "der" for male given names.

That's because "Mädchen" is a dimunitive, and those are indeed neutral.

This is why I stopped taking German classes. Genreing nouns just never clicked with me. I can kinda hear it in French words more intuitively though.

In the San Francisco Bay Area BART is short for Bay Ares Rapid Transit. It is a local train system.
