“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”
how about “matpat was given a rare opportunity to speak to the pope and he gave him a meme game”
How about mat pat was chosen to speak about how the internet brings people together while representing YouTube and games and had to give the pope a gift symbolizing that so he gave the pope a game about love and acceptance. The memes of undertale don’t make undertale any less of a game. Did arrow in the knee devalue skyrim? Did all the various pokemon memes make anybody less excited about pokemon? or are you just someone who hates people based on hearsay about negative things and automatically assumed there’s more negative than positive because you never bothered to actually look at it. If its the latter then congrats, you’re the very reason he gave the pope that game.

None of Undertale’s virtues change the fact that it’s really arrogant to assume a major religious leader will take time to play your favorite game.
Also, maybe if you want to be taken seriously don’t give the pope googly eyes in your thumbnail.
Except he knows the pope probably won’t play it and the gesture was symbolic. Did you even watch the video to get context or are you just mindlessly hating based on what you’ve heard through hearsay?

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
the culture your represent. gaming culture
sorry op but it’s worse with context
It’s even worse because… the pope DOES NOT OWN anything besides ESSENTIALS for life. It doesn’t matter what you represent here, giving the POPE a video game is so painfully ridiculous that it’s just… ugh.
Question, did you watch the video because that complaint was addressed.

why else would he have been invited tho? thats the one thing im confused about with this. like, hes the game theory guy, does game lab, other video game stuff, and is known for no other reason than video games.
i mean, he was invited specifically, right? he didnt just go? as silly of a reason as it is to invite someone to talk to the pope, what other reason could it be?? what else does he do???
The topic discussed was how the internet brings people together. He was chosen to be there representing YouTube gaming because YouTube is one of the top social media sites and it’s gaming aspect is the largest community. And at such an event its customary to give the pope a gift reflecting who you represent.

Yeah but matpat gave the pope undertale…
He was chosen to represent gaming culture and had to provide a gift to reflect it. And this is the pope who threw out a golden throne. He hates fancy shit and loves symbolism.

Context is important cause now i can understand how matpat was put under the circumstance that he had to give the pope not only gift but something that would represent “
YouTube gaming community”. The question that remains who decided that “YouTube gaming community” needed an ambassor to meet the pope
And who decided that having matpat “I made two 15 minute episodes just to say that it is possible that Rosilina is Mario and Peach’s kid who has traveled back in time” would be a good idea in the first place?
Well of you actually bothered to watch the videos you would find that the theory is that she’s LUIGI and peaches daughter. That’s why a two parter. For the twist. Also. Because there was a clear separation between the genetics and the lore he used to back it up. One video was about genetics and the other lore.
why are people complaining about matpat gifting undertale when they have no idea what the traditions behind the vatican are. it's a shame to see what was supposed to be pope francis reaching out to a younger generation backfire so awfully. fucking tumblr, man.

Because people will look for every reason to hate matpat since fnaf. Granted hw has had some pretty bad theories like sans, people usually get mad at the wrong thing.
Bruh that makes it even more cringy. Representing the 'Youtube Gaming Community' like what. No he's representing himself

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were the head of YouTube and choose who goes to what event to represent who.

sorry but us gamers need more representation….just thought i’d FREAKIN throw it out there……
Unfortunately when gamers get representation, people get angry and yell that gamers don’t need representation. Hell one guy was chosen to represent gaming when meeting the pope and people are pissed
