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

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.

sorry seeing gamers conflated with actual, real life cultures that have audience with the pope is really fucking funny to me

That’s quite the slippery slope you got there. And even if they did get representation as a culture, so what? Oh, but you don’t agree with anyone who has different interest so they must be bad.
