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”

“matpat, while representting the YT gaming community, AS THE CUSTOMARY GIFT, gave the pope who may or may not even have a fucking computer a steam code for a video game instead of an actual physical object, AND THEN PROCEEDED TO MAKE A HORRIBLE VIDEO”

You mean the video that gives the reason why he chose that specific game as well as what it was like to meet the pope? This is the same pope who threw out a golden throne. I’m pretty sure he cares more for the symbolism and sentiment more than actually getting something physical
