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

Out of all the games, Undertale? God that’s cringey.

Why? The whole game is about mercy and this is the popes year of mercy. Also its a game that breaks stereotypes which is what mat pat wanted to do. Or is it cringy because the game was a big hit with a large fanbase?
