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

the gift he gave WAS reflective of the gamer community. it was unnecessary, completely useless, totally lacking in thought, and self-serving

Yeah, how dare he Gove pope Francis, a man who has been figuratively fighting for acceptance, love and social change a game about acceptance, love and social change while representing a gaming community. Clearly he should have gotten the pope doom. that would have been much more appropriate.

u watchin them notes close huh

you totally missed my point the pope still can’t use Doom or appreciate it as a gift, it’s completely meaningless lol

Well if you even watched the video, you would see marked acknowledge that the Pope probably won’t play it but it’s a symbolic gesture. I mean, what’s the guy supposed to get him that reflected what he was representing? And you have to remember that this is pope Francis. He loves symbolic gestures. Remember when he got rid of the golden throne and repplaces it with a regular chair?
