I can see why people would like him, but to me he crosses the line by a mile into being the most unpleasant character in the world to watch

Honestly? Fair. There's a physicality to Otoya I find difficult to forgive, when he starts getting grabby with strangers and folks that are not consenting to his schtick. That's a part that takes me a bit out of his scenes.

But, yeah, he's a massive part of the show, and if you find him unfunny and tasteless (if not completely abhorrent), that's going to make the whole thing fatally flawed.
