Gay Baby Jail

Popularized by Twitch streamer Simpleflips, Gay Baby Jail is a spot in a game where you are softlocked and unable to leave. This extends to not being able to die, forcing you to load an old save file or just turn off the game.

I've been stuck in Gay Baby Jail for 2 hours because I don't want to go back to my old save.

Gay Baby Jail

A softlock in Mario 64 rom hacks where the only way out is to restart the game. Most of the time this is unintentional and is caused by developer oversight or general laziness. However, despite this, according to the twitch streamer who popularized this term, SimpleFlips, "Gay baby jail has never been a tangible location, its always been apart of you. A state of mind, a state of being. Solids, liquids, gases, gay. baby. jail."

Then I saw my dad, he was looking really mad. He said im about to make you pay, im about to make you gay. Youre gonna start spinning when I grab your tail, so get ready for gay baby jail.
