I usurp realized, the people who are attacking mat pat are basically the tmz of gaming. They take things out of context and try to make people look like shit, even if the actual event was pretty nice.

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”

yall say that shit like he didnt make a for-profit clickbait video giving the impression of the former intentionally. with like. a picture of the pope with googly eyes and sans.

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

“it’s customary to give the pope a gift that’s reflective of the culture you represent”

“reflective of the culture you represent”

HELP

He was there representing YouTube gaming culture. What would you have gotten three pope then?

i’m sorry but this wording is endlessly hilarious to me.

The gift is to reflect the culture that he represents. I don’t see what’s so funny about that.

they should have sent cr1tikal instead

And if they chose cr1tikal, someone would have said it should be jontron. If jontron was chosen, someone would say rooster teeth. You see where I’m going with this?

I mean in the video he did acknowledge that it was more of a symbolic gesture, knowing full well that the pope doesn’t have a computer.

okay but why is the youtube community meeting the pope in the first place?

Because the subject was about how the internet brings people together and YouTube is one of the biggest social media sites.

Question

If your were chosen to represent YouTube gaming culture and had to get the pope a gift reflecting that, what would you get the pope?

Thank you for defending matpat. It means a lot to me, even though it's stupid to feel that way.

People have been getting mad at him fort every video since fnaf. The problem is that they keep getting mad at him for the wrong reasons. Usually its “oh it’s because he claimed all his theories are Canon” which can’t be farther from the truth since he ends each video with “but hey that’s just a theory”
It was especially prevalent in the sans theory because a much better reason would be “because occams razor dictates its probably something else and also frisk would not recognize him as sans of he had skin”
Here though, people are taking it out of context. He chose that game for a specific reason and was there because he was chosen to represent a culture.

I think people are making this big because of people saying stuff like, "lol its Matpat, the youtuber that makes theories and states that they are true, is a big icon of the YouTube community, and everyone hates him for his success so I hate him as well and whatever big thing he's done is now being mocked by the masses so I'd better get in on that and not check out the actual video to see what he actually said and if I do, I won't be able to rejoin the mass of people that don't check the facts."

That’s because they’re stupid. Mat pat never claims that the theories are true, that’s why he ends with “but hey, that’s just a theory” it means that it’s just a theory. For funsies. Not Canon. Hell, he even admitted he jumped the shark with the sans is ness

wait this actually happened?

I saw it on my dash this morning and thought it was a joke omg

Nope, its true. Mat pat was chosen to attend an event representing YouTube gaming culture and had to get the pope a gift reflecting the gaming community. He chose undertale, a game about breaking stereotypes and equality.
