Why context is important

“matpat gave the pope undertale” sounds way different than “matpat met the pope while representing the YouTube gaming community and it’s customary to give the pope a gift that’s reflective of the culture your represent and he chose undertale, a game about choices, consequences and reflect and peace/love”

Yeah, “matpat met the pope while representing the YouTube gaming community” is actually even more ridiculous so I’m not sure context makes this one better

without context it’s a funny and embarassing ‘absolute madman’ thing to do, but with context it’s some bizarre self righteous nonsense treating gamers like a religion and worsening a great game’s already horrible reputation

He wasn’t treating gamers like religion, the pope invited him to talk about how the Internet brings people together.

Just a reminder that there are more sexualities than hetero and homo. Pearl can still be shipped with greg while being just as gay as when she was with rose. Bi, pan and demi are still are thing.

Pearl is a L E S B I A N

Thank you

Gems dont have G E N D E R S
Thank you

I didn’t say her gender, I said her sexuality. Go complain to every nonbinary lesbian. Thank you

That’s just the thing, you can’t classify her as lesbian because she likes other gems. Gems don’t have a sex. Yes, it is a representation of lesbian relationships but she is not lesbian for being in love with Rose. They have no sex, there is no label, it’s just a relationship.

Can lesbians have like one thing? There’s never been characters like these before. Let us have something, even if they’re rocks.
Also, why aren’t people crying this message for Rose and Greg? Look at him he loved a nonbinary rock. Greg is pan now. You’re welcome

I’m not trying to take anything away from you, it’s just it seems like everyone completely forgets they have no sex. None. Ziltch.
You want to use them as a representation of a love that is pushed away so much? Go for it. I’m happy that you feel joy from them. But everyone forgets the lore of the show in making it about a minority.

There’s obviously no winning with you. Go find your nearest nonbinary lesbian. Talk to them. Come back to me. I’m genderfluid. Does this mean on my genderless days I lose my lesbianism? I become straight?
The lore of the show is never lost, in fact a lot of it is wrapped up in the fact of them being gay.

Not to be rude or something but… gems are homosexual? like, homosexual is attraction to same gender and gems are non-binary girls? they all go by she/her beside Steven who is half human? And Pearl is a lesbian because its canon? And non-binary lesbians are real? Rebecca Sugar (The CREATOR of this show) said that Ruby and Sapphire are CANONICALLY A LESBIAN COUPLE.
Like…? can they make it more obvious? why can’t LGBT have good things once in a while?

ALSO I just noticed… 

YOU DON’T NEED SEX TO BE GAY OR LESBIAN OR BI OR SUCH, THAT COMMENT WAS INCREDIBLY RUDE, Y’KNOW? 

Anyways sex doesnt equal gender and nb lesbians exist and pearl is an example of just one of them so shut up

^^ THIS

Peridot has only shown romantic feelings toward rose and potentially greg now. You’re both wrong, she’s not leaving, she’s demi.

Me​: Pearl is gay

Someone: PEARL CAN’T BE GAY!!! CUZ SHE’S A ROCK!! ROCKS ARE GENDERLESS!!! SHE IS NOT A LESBIAN!!

Me: wow buddy well done you just managed to make Pearl 10 times more gay, thanks. 

^ this

Well she’s demi, which is a type of ace, which depending on your definition of gay, could be considered gay. Gay as in the umbrella term for not hetero but ultimately a type of ace.

YouTube Red takes something I don’t want and asks me to pay for it, but RedTube takes something I’d pay for and gives it to me for free.

Well with youtube red, you’re not forced to buy it so it’s like saying “grocery stores are stupid, why do they even sell orange juice? I don’t even like it”
