Is kisama always an insult? Now I know it's mostly just used in shows like movies and anime, but lots of people translate it as bastard; however, I see people using it in speech to refer to another and I don't see any signs of the other person being pissed off. It doesn't really make much sense though, the first kanji is 'precious' and the second, sama, is way up there in respect. Is it meant to be used to someone of a far lower status, but when someone says it near the same status of the other it becomes an insult? Or am I just overanalyzing all of this
