For all you baseball fanatics out there, the recent "World Baseball Classic" (WBC) has been absolutely electrifying! This premier tournament, organized by Major League Baseball, saw teams like Japan, Australia, the Czech Republic, and Korea battling it out for a spot in the knockout rounds.
With the games being held in Tokyo, the city was absolutely swarming with both international and local fans. But here's a hilarious twist: a self-proclaimed "fuzoku-jo" (adult entertainment worker) on X (formerly Twitter) claimed that the baseball frenzy caused all the men in the nightlife scene to "vanish" overnight! This sparked a huge buzz online, revealing that major international baseball tournaments can apparently hit the adult entertainment industry where it hurts.
The post that kicked off the discussion read: "Mr. Ohtani is basically the enemy of every fuzoku-jo in Japan! Ever since the World Baseball Classic (WBC) started, our customers have completely disappeared."
Naturally, this is all because everyone's glued to the baseball games, leaving no time (or cash) for nightlife entertainment, and leaving adult entertainment workers with a serious slump in business. Talk about a curveball! QQ
Why single out Shohei Ohtani? Well, the WBC was a rare chance for him to play on home turf in Japan, and practically everyone, men and women alike, wanted to catch a glimpse of his legendary skills.
Many netizens jokingly suggested asking customers if they'd be willing to watch baseball while enjoying their services. The original poster, however, sadly replied that such customers simply don't exist. And indeed, some users admitted they'd rather watch Ohtani play than spend money on adult entertainment. Harsh, but true! QQ
Other adult entertainment workers on X also chimed in, confirming that business took a real hit during the WBC. "Everyone just vanished, LOL," one lamented, adding that they'd have to wait until after the tournament to start racking up sales again.
Guess it's safe to say that when it comes to charm, Ohtani's appeal might just outshine the adult entertainment industry for many men! LOL
