Yeah actually this second part is a really good point. If the game is absolutely incapable of being marketed effectively if it includes women or other genders, that would mean it by necessity exists
essentially in a static system of sexism, which is to say the the
True Substance of OOTP and baseball by extension is, analytically, sexist. Which I really don't think arguing that the Platonic Form of Baseball is sexist is something people on here probably intend to do
So uh, yeah, just a gentle warning about the logical consequences of taking a hard market-based position against women in baseball ... you're kind of obliquely making a very hard Critical Theory critique
To be clear, I don't think baseball or OOTP is sexist in that sense at all haha
