“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

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.
