45. There's No Crying in Baseball, But There Are Lesbians! Queer History of the AAGPBL

An episode Leigh has been dreaming of since the start of the pod is finally here! In this ep, Leigh is joined by guest host Frankie de la Cretaz, sports journalist, queer history buff, and certified Gaylor Swiftie, to discuss the queer history of women’s baseball & softball, in particular the story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, aka the inspiration behind A League of Their Own! We discuss all the extreme “no-homo”ing that was happening in the League’s rules and regulations, and all the YES HOMO-ing that happened in spite of it, making the sport into an important site of queer community. We also introduce you to the wonderful world of AAGBPL’s rival for women’s baseball at the time, the National Girls’ Baseball League, and the contrasts between the two leagues. Thank you to Averie Severs for editing this episode.

32 Hours of VRChat - Your 2nd Reality

Today I will introduce you to the game in the VR Category which is VRChat!

VRChat is a Virtual World social game created by Graham Gaylor and Jesse Joudrey developed and published by VRChat Inc. It was first released on January 16, 2014 as an app for the Oculus Rift then released on Steam on February 1, 2017. It’s a place to meet all kinds of people from around the globe in a virtual environment. VRChat’s content are created by its amazing community creating avatars, worlds, games and more. It’s a game with thousands of games inside it. From scenic worlds to game worlds that will blow your mind. And the best part? It’s free to play!You can play the game even without a VR, with just your PC on desktop mode. You can also play it without a PC using a standalone VR like the Quest 2 or Pico 4.

First up, in VRChat you can be who you want to be! Be your popular anime, game, or movie character. You can choose your own gender from being a girl, boy, and other genders. You can join different types of fandoms and groups from Warhammer, Undertale, FNAF, roleplayers, ravers, hobbyist or tech enthusiasts, no matter your taste you’ll find a place for you. Here you have the freedom to be who you are and find people the same as you.

Next up, VRChat worlds that blow your mind. You’ll find worlds here that can make you appreciate scenes or landscapes that are so beautifully created in 3D. You can also visit VR cities from different parts of the globe like the busy streets of Tokyo to the romantic city of Paris. You can also find worlds that are so mesmerizing, creative, trippy, or out of this world.

Then we go to the games. VRChat has hundreds of games that people can play. From recreated games like Among Us, prop hunting, to games like Prison Escape, Zombie Tag, & Murder Mystery. There’s definitely a lot of unique games to play here. There’s also community created worlds such as Devouring, Pop Escape, Hunni’s Horror Maps and also the Award-Winning game Magic Heist. If you have a game idea you have the freedom to create your own game here as long as you have knowledge of coding, blender and Unity.

And Lastly, In VRChat you can live in the virtual space like you’re in another world. People who want to feel the escapism or people who just want to be themselves can live their life here. People are so immersed that you can find love, marry people, sleep in VR, join rave parties, drink with friends and even join live stage shows. There was a documentary made about a couple that met in VRChat and started a family. Finding love virtually is now made easier in VR because you can see a physical representation of your loved ones.

Since VR is like a 2nd world, you can also find work here and earn money. You can stream yourself, selling your avatar creation, start a service type of business, teach others how to dance, translate other languages, DJ for clubs, create custom worlds or models. People use their talents in music, arts, acting, comedy, games and many more for people’s needs and demands. With this they have created an economy that made VRChat one of the best free to play VR games that has so much potential for the future.

It really shocks me how a lot of people haven’t heard of it before when popular Vtubers such as Filian or Project Melody use VRChat on their videos that are viewed by millions of people. This shows how underrated the game is due to some misconceptions and misunderstanding people have about VRChat.

And here in Gamer Salad, we showcase games and give them their love and glory they so deserve.

If you're interested to try out VRChat yourself: feel free to create an account and login with the link below! I look forward to meeting you.

I am Mark and thank you for reading Gamer Salad!~

Going off the Sabrina thing, who are the straightest celebs you can think of? Like painfully straight

Honestly, I’m gonna get a couple Gaylor lashings for this I’m sure and it makes me sad because it’s sad because she’s so hot lol but I think Taylor lmfao. She’s so straight that she genuinely didn’t understand she was accidentally doing gay shit for yeaaars lmfao like that’s a level of painful straightness. Also obviously Karlie but I’ve said that for years. A lot of Karlie’s friends/models also like Ashley Graham and co. Also, again this is tragic for me personally, but Saoirse. Ummm idk who else. I don’t want to say if they haven’t really said because some people don’t know and might not be sure and might figure it out later but that’s off the top of my head.

[drdemonprince]

And if you are worried about the ethics of how the Gaylor community operates, which is reasonable, just read through some of the criticisms people are making of the Gaylor community in that big post I've been reblogging. A lot of the comments are just people being baffled by the belief in Gaylor, but believing something weird isn't unethical or inherently damaging. Focus on the comments about members of the community being homophobic, trans-exclusionary, biphobic, lacking respect for boundaries and privacy, isolating themselves from lgbtq communities, and being uninformed about broader queer history. If any of those remarks apply to ways you behave, consider changing that. If it doesn't, then go ahead and keep on liking/consuming Gaylor content.

Some of my special interests have involved looking at graphic images of dead bodies or reading men's rights activists forums, but it didnt harm anyone. and I stand firmly with all people who are (or have been considered) crazy or unhinged because of the things that they like. I think Grimes is a closeted trans guy and published a whole (fictionalized!) short story about it. I've been into real person ships before (like Graham Coxon/Damon Albarn and Carboys). I certainly have no ground to say there's something inherently wrong with being interested in Gaylor stuff. Our feelings and interests do not matter morally, but our behavior and the impact we have on others does. So just always ask yourself whether you are okay with your behavior and the ways it affects people. If thats all good youre fine.

Hi Devon! I am a huge fan of you and your books and I am also a Gaylor. Taylor Swift has been my special interest for 15 years, and based on the information I know about her I believe she is queer. However, I have been getting the messaging recently that this is a harmful thing to believe, and while I still believe it, I care more about being ethical in the queer community. How can I phase out of my special interest if it is wrong?

I don't believe in thought crimes or emotion crimes. As long as you aren't behaving in an invasive or homophobic way toward anybody there is nothing wrong with you having that special interest. Hell, the Gaylor subculture itself has rapidly become a special interest for me.

u ever just remember how graham norton almost blew the lid on the canceled june 2019 rolling stone cover? how he asked taylor about her rolling stone cover during her may 2019 appearance on his show? how that makes no sense considering her last RS cover was september 2014? when she was on his show in october 2014? why he would've waited 5 years to ask about it randomly, 2 appearances later on his show ???? the october 2019 cover was originally meant for june 2019 to coincide with pride month

How do you think Taylor and Karlie actually feel about each other now? I feel like Karlie still likes baiting insane kaylors because it gives her much craved attention but is ambivalent towards Taylor, whereas Taylor probably genuinely dislikes Karlie for the scooter affiliation and seethes if she goes online and sees gaylors writing about their "queer joy" from 10 years ago that never existed.

This comes with 1) a lot of assumptions and baseless headcanons about both women 2) a gross overestimation of the mathematical or cultural relevance of Kaylor.

Karlie hasn’t “baited” Kaylors since she got pregnant. I’m also not convinced Karlie was ever trying to bait romantic!Kays. She did, imo, try and retain Swifties. Inexhaustive list of examples in which she worked to retain Swiftie attention: posted publicly for Tay’s birthday in 2017, went to and actively documented Rep Tour and posted the Rep Room selfie in 2018, tried to imply Taylor is coming to her wedding(s) in 2018 and had Ash Graham cover for her in an interview by “not revealing the guest list” post fact like Tay DIDN’T go but they didn’t want to say, listening to Lover on main in 2019 and telling Vogue her and Taylor are still really good friends, and like posting her folklore-esque content in 2020 (and going on a like spree of actual cardigans).

Now, why did Karlie do this? Because she wanted to… retain Swifties, many of whom had originally liked her (in the way they like most of Tay’s friends but especially the pretty Barbie doll ones). Does literally ANY of the above imply IN ANY WAY that they’re in a romantic closeted relationship? Absolutely not. Going to a bachelorette party at someone’s concert and trying to say they went to your weddings and saying you’re good friends with someone is NOT in any way saying “we are sekrit wives”. It’s just wanting to avoid drama and retain some of the audience you got from that.

If someone saying “haha we’re still good friends don’t worry!!!” makes you think they’re dating or married that’s… insane.

Since Karlie got pregnant and Kays got crazier and came for her baby and since ITTG dropped she has abandoned the above.

But y’all there are approximately 10K Kays/Gaylors. KARLIE - not even Taylor - has 10.3 MILLION followers. Kays do not even make up 1% of her fanbase. Now maybe she has some bought followers. Shit let’s call Kays 10% of her fanbase. And so? Like as annoying and crazy as they are can she factor a segment that small into her actual marketing plans?

Next: Taylor doesn’t hate people for Scooter affiliations. She went to Ed’s big wedding alongside Scooter himself and it was all a okay. Her and Ariana have never had beef. There is literally nothing to indicate she gets mad at people for doing business with the man.

According to Perez and Spencer Pratt, Taylor is angry at Karlie because Karlie TOLD Scooter stuff about Taylor. That’s what pissed Taylor off - not Karlie working with him but Karlie running her mouth and telling TAY’s business to him. Before Tay found that out, they were just… people who’d grown apart.

Taylor had gone on Insta and liked Karlie’s wedding pic so she had 1) remembered 2) publicly wanted to show her support.

Like the beef between them that exists now started in 2019 when Tay got Masters info. Before that they’d simply drifted.

Finally (maybe): the “tea” all says Karlie hated Kaylor in real time - the shipping not the conspiracy - and Tay found it cute and funny. This makes sense because Tay was single and then in a new relationship with a gross hetty boy DJ who didn’t mind this stuff and Karlie was in a serious pre-existing relationship and trying to look like marriage material and her serious boyfriend was getting harassment so I don’t think she liked that. She liked SWIFTIES of whom there were far more. Taylor found all the friend shipping cute and hilarious until she realized like these were actual conspiracies and then she backed off.

However, if we want to talk about like attracting Gaylors like Taylor did so into Lover era. Yes, there aren’t a lot of them but she knows they exist because she was terminally online when they were born and encouraged them by regularly liking posts about like silly Kaylor jokes. Taylor then made a gay pride era with “gay pride makes me me” and put a bi pride flag on her head and then she wrote a bunch of love songs about women (male perspective or nah, if you’re worried about people thinking you’re gay you don’t sing a song addressed to a gal from that POV).

Taylor also has had Gaylors - not basement baby Kays tho - at all her in person fan events including the ATW premiere. She had like a big Swiftgron from TikTok (I think but maybe Twitter) at it. Swiftgron… also isn’t real but it CLEARLY does not bother her.

So look: neither are “baiting” anyone and idk that they ever did. Real world baiting is idk what TaTu did. It’s not saying your ex friend went to your wedding. They are on bad terms now. But it has nothing to do with Kaylor lol sorry.

Like y’all there just aren’t enough ACTUAL Kays - “they broke up” ones included - for this to be a relevant demographic to target.

TL; dr - no one thinks about Kays except for them and their obsessed ass antis.

HTC Leads $4M Series A Investment in Social VR Platform ‘VRChat’

“Our goal is to enable anybody to create their own social VR experiences,” said VRChat CEO Graham Gaylor. “Partnering with HTC gets us that much closer to achieving that, and driving social experiences for VR forward.”

Because the team behind VRChat is entirely remote, they actually use the power of their own social VR platform as they expand it, calling the virtual spaces created within ‘their office’.

VRChat 

VRChat is an upcoming free-to-play massively multiplayer online virtual reality video game created by Graham Gaylor and Jesse Joudrey. It allows players to interact with others as 3D character models. The game was released for Microsoft Windows via Steam's early access program on February 1, 2017. It supports the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality headsets, though none of them are mandatory to play.

VRChat Gameplay

VRChat's gameplay is similar to that of games such as Second Life and Habbo Hotel. Players can create their own instanced worlds in which they can interact with each other through virtual avatars. A software development kit released alongside the game gives players the ability to create or import character models from various franchises and adopt them as their personas. Player models are capable of supporting "audio lip sync, eye tracking and blinking, and complete range of motion It also includes several mini-games in which players can "Capture the Flag, rob a bank in Steel 'n' Gold, and lob digital discs at each other in a match of Battle Discs."Although the game was named "VRChat", it is not necessary to have VR equipment to play the game. The game also offers a desktop version for those who don't have VR headsets, but it has limitations such as the inability to freely move an avatar.

VRChat In the media

VRChat the game's popularity has been attributed to use by YouTubers and Twitch streamers. VRChat has spawned media such as a weekly newspaper in its forums, and talk shows and podcasts dedicated to a discussion of the game. 

VRChat gave rise to a meme known as "Ugandan Knuckles", in which players use in-game models of Knuckles the Echidna from the Sonic The Hedgehog series while repeating the catchphrase "Do you know the way?" in a mock African accent. The players' model and mannerisms originated in a review by YouTuber Gregzilla and Forsen's Twitch stream respectively, in addition to lines from the Ugandan movie Who Killed Captain Alex? This has generated controversy from many sources; Polygon's Julia Alexander labelled it "blatantly racist" and a "problematic meme", comparing it to Habbo Hotel raids, and Jay Hathaway of The Daily Dot called it a "racist caricature". The creator of the 3D model used in the meme expressed regret for having made it, and urged players that they "do not use this to bug the users of VRChat." In response, the developers of the game published an open letter on Medium, stating that they were developing "new systems to allow the community to better self moderate" and asking users to use the built-in muting features.

VRChat Partners with Morph 3D for VR Avatar Engine

Morph 3D has today announced its partnership with VRChat to offer access to the Ready Room platform; a suite of tools designed to allow users to easily create unique and personalised avatars for their virtual identities. Aiming to increase the adoption of virtual reality (VR) as a social medium, VRChat will offer users access to the avatar creation tools upon its Steam Early Access launch today.

Creating a personalised avatar typically isn’t an option for those without advanced 3D skills. As social VR continues to evolve, Morph 3D expects that users will want to represent themselves with more personalised avatars and will need easily accessible tools and content to do so. Morph 3D’s Ready Room integration with VRChat lowers the barrier of entry for their users to create and manage their virtual identity.

“We are big fans of what VRChat is doing to revolutionise social VR, and are thrilled to help their users express themselves,” said James Thornton, CEO of Morph 3D. “At the heart of social VR is the ability for us to communicate and enjoy shared virtual experiences with people all over the world. The starting point of this experience is being able to create a virtual identity that best reflects who you are, just as you do in your day-to-day life.”

According to Morph 3D, this partnership will allow every day users will be able to create VR avatars feature dynamic lip sync, eyes that track, hand gestures, full-body IK and speech that uses spatial audio. These tools will lower the barrier for entry to a much larger group of users in social VR.

“As one of the leading platforms in social VR, we are very selective in identifying partners that align with our vision,” said Graham Gaylor, Founder and CEO of VRChat. “Our avatar system is state of the art, featuring dynamic lip sync, eyes that track, hand gestures, full body IK and speech that uses spatial audio. Morph 3D was a natural fit from the beginning because they take full advantage of these systems. We love that their tools and content offer our users an unmatched level of avatar personalization.”

VRChat will launch via Steam Early Access today, and will be free to download. VRFocus will keep you updated with all the latest details on VRChat and other social platforms within VR.
