“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
without context it’s a funny and embarassing ‘absolute madman’ thing to do, but with context it’s some bizarre self righteous nonsense treating gamers like a religion and worsening a great game’s already horrible reputation
He wasn’t treating gamers like religion, the pope invited him to talk about how the Internet brings people together.
