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”
He fucking gave the pope undertale
Yeah because he was representing YouTube gaming at the event and it’s customary to give the pope a gift during the event.

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
Well it’s true. He spoke to many people about what YouTube is and what gaming is and the culture behind it. When you act like YouTube and gaming can’t be an important cultural thing you sound just like baby boomers complaining about everything new. I don’t see how it’s any different from when Eva longoria met the pope. Mat pat is a celebrity. He has many fans and a successful show. And one of the biggest reasons why YouTube having representation is important is because it’s one step closer to being recognized as a legitimate entertainment source.

I’m honestly so fucking happy for this undertale pope nonsense
in 2014 we had dashcon and 2015 brought us sonic-for-real-justice, and I was getting disappointed that there wasn’t another absurd summer trainwreck on this website to follow, but matpat came to the fucking rescue and gave a steam code for undertale to the literal pope
Explain how its a train wreck

So i was browsing on Twitter and…
there’s also already people training and driving like We Are In A Whole New World and it’s hilarious
It’s a whole new world we live in. It’s a whole new way to see. It’s a brand new place with a brand new attitude. But you still have to catch ‘em all and be the best that you can be.
