Is this a brilliant gimmick on the part of the wrestling writers of a promotion, or is it offensive?

Now, in the video, the commentators seem to take the actions of Danshoku Dino in good faith, but in your opinion, is this a memorable gimmick which will suit Dino in his career in DDT wrestling, or is it just offensive to homosexuals?

    This is the kind of stuff you can find in promotions all over the world...except for the WWE. Crazy, off-the-wall, bizarre characters played for laughs. Offensive? Nah, he was playing up the stereotype of the "man-crazy homosexual" most guys are uncomfortable being around and are a little afraid of. I found it very entertaining and funny. Not so much Dino but the reactions from the fans.

    This is the kind of gimmick (and interaction with the fans) that will get noticed and talked about. Word-of-mouth publicity made Gorgeous George the biggest star of his time and one of the biggest stars in wrestling history. Most people find parodying and making fun of stereotypes funny. A whole slew of comedians make that a big part of their acts.

    This is the only time I've ever seen that guy. The crowd looked like they were enjoying him; looks like Dino found a gimmick that works.

    hes very popular in Japan but honestly if he TRIED to actually mae it big in the states, there would be no chance in hell for him. If he went around kissing random ppl at a WWE or TNA show, those fans would charge him for sexual harassment. To answer ur question, yesssss, i think its very memorable. hes one of a kind, and im sure lots of ppl would find it offensive haha and not just gays...
