As a native Spanish speaker there is nothing offensive about the name. It literally translates to 'The Black Rooster'. However it could also be word play on his end. What's another word for rooster in English? I'll let you guys figure that out 😅😂
As a spanish speaker i,m not sure of what Gayo means it is probably just a local term that is not used in My country but since it is EL Gayo i'll asume it is spanish but the question is understandable since not all English speakers are taught spanish ok i searched in the RAE and it means happy
Just as a general point, there are forum rules about calling out specific accounts. You don't seem to be doing it in a terribly derogatory way, but I'd rather you know as to not get banned for an easy thing to miss. Usually when sharing pictures of other accounts, you can do this by editing the photo and just blacking out the name. In this case, you probably could have just included the.... questionable part of the name as text and bypassed the photo altogether.
But yes, not inherently a name that should cause concern.
Even if "negro" was meant to refer to a black person, in Spain at least we dont have that kind of "n-word", well we do have it, but its kinda different, and Gayo would be just rooster but spelled with Y instead of LL, since in Spain both letter have the same sound when followed by a vocal, and its also a last name here.
Anyway, most of the time, something is offensive if you take it as it, if you dont, it wont be offensive (obviously excluding intended insults)
Imagine being offended (which is your case I assume) by a color
"Negro" is a way people refer to Black people, usually intended to be derogatory.
1973 called, and they want their racial slurs back.
It is offensive, but there are some languages that use the term as well, so it's not always used in that context. If you're referring to someone who is of African descent, then it's offensive. Then there's the obvious point that Black people refer to themselves and each other with it. I'm not qualified to speak on that because I'm not Black.

it cannot be offensive for a Spaniard to call a African " un hombre negro" that is literally the same as an english speaker calling them "a black man" if that is offensive then i call the person being offended a racist for being offended by someone using another language. LMAO

Edit: I could be wrong on the translation, as I'm not a native Spanish speaker, but the point stands.
It just means "the black goose" so idk why it would not be allowed
You know that there are multiple langage in the world right ?
Should it have been obvious it wasn't English? Probably. But I don't think they were offended just about a color.
i have not met anyone personally that does not know that.
even if "gayo" meant gay and he was saying he was "the black gay"
so what.....
