“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
yeah all that stuff op said is good and all until you add “except the pope doesn’t have a computer” at which point MatPat basically just gave him a string of characters
Except mat pat pointed out the pope probably won’t play it and that it’s a symbolic gesture
You wouldn’t tell someone to read your favorite book and just give them the cover. It has just as much meaning as an unusable steam code
No, it’s more like giving them a book that has some significance in bringing representation to a group knowing they will likely leave it on their shelf the whole time.
Yeah, a book could contain a complete summation of human history but if it goes unread then it serves the same value as a rectangular rock
Unless you let them know what it represents. Also, this isn’t just some person, this is the guy who threw out a golden throne for a regular chair. I’m pretty sure he’s all for symbolism
