Hello everyone and welcome to game theory
Gramps who we all know is link from LTTP in LBW and that hes 80 according to rumor guy. so since he was 16 when he defeated ganon and 80 in link between worlds, its a 64 year gap
64 years later
Therefor, forever is 64 years.
But hey, thats just a theory. A GAME THEORY
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
Yeah please expand the scope of that context for us
The pope wanted to interview eleven YouTube personalities to discuss how the internet brings people together. Mat pat was chosen as one of them and represented gaming culture. He explained how games have had such an impact on people and for his customary gift that reflects what he represents, he SYMBOLICALLY gave the pope undertale, a game about mercy and breaking stereotypes because this is the popes year of mercy and mat pat was there to break the stereotype that gamers are violent basement dwellers.
In the video where he announced it and explained why, he first explained availability heugenics using an easy example, Muslims, to help people understand it. He was not comparing gamers to Muslims, he was using Muslims as an example to explain an abstract concept and then explaining how the concept pertains to why he was there. And the only time he mentioned Orlando was to emphasize that THE WORLD (not gamers) needs peace and equality more than ever right now. He never compared gamers to Orlando.
That is why context is important. Because people keep taking what he says out of context and keep spreading misinformation based on hearsay. Of course he explains all this in his video but considering how many people complain the pope doesn’t have a computer (which mat pat pointed out in video and explained that it was symbolic) I don’t think many of the people who are angry actually watched it.
Considering the pope was the one to organize the event it should be more like the pope met mat pat rather than mat pat met the pope. Mat pat was the one invited to talk about how the internet brings people together while representing YouTube gaming.
I showed my grandmother the video of mat pat giving the pope undertale. She is a hardcore Catholic. Congratulations people, you are less understanding than a hardcore Catholic.
I usurp realized, the people who are attacking mat pat are basically the tmz of gaming. They take things out of context and try to make people look like shit, even if the actual event was pretty nice.
Question
If your were chosen to represent YouTube gaming culture and had to get the pope a gift reflecting that, what would you get the pope?
