“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

I mean… it makes sense that way but the thing about it is even with the logic behind it it’s still fucking batshit insane. And the worst part is I see the logic. undertale is a good game to give the pope because pacifism is an option. but it’s not like the pope is gonna play it,and more over you could have given him any of a dozen other games which don’t have violence. 

And in the video, mat pat pointed out that the pope probably won’t play it and that it’s more of a symbolic gesture
