Imagine a word that once meant 'respected sir'. Now, it means something very rude. That is what happened to this word. It flipped completely.
This word is much stronger than "omae". "Omae" can be rude. But friends might use it. "Kisamara" always shows hate. It is like "temee". But "kisamara" sounds older. It is more dramatic. "Temee" is a common bad word.
Don't use this word when talking to real people. It is very rude. You will only see it in stories like anime.
