    I don't think any ordinary person would look at Leonardo DiCaprio and think "loser."

      okay, but I said it because I do think of him as a loser

        Sure, but this thread is also getting into cultural attitudes and what most people think is acceptable. And it's always good to recognize when one's opinion (even if it's somewhat popular on a small leftist site) is radically different from what society as a whole thinks (even those parts of society that aren't hopelessly reactionary).

        I just think it's worth noting that if you call one of the most famous actors in the world a loser, 99% of folks will look at you like you have three heads.

          Well sure, but this was a question asked on Hexbear. I've never talked about Leo with anyone IRL other than "Leo is in X movie".

      I wouldn’t call Jeffery Epstein a loser before he got arrested. I would call him a creep.
