What about "baka" or "bakaro" whatever the difference is, which I've heard countless times translated as "idiot" in anime?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Baka and it's various forms are actually stupid, fool, idiot, and the like. Calling someone stupid is a pretty common way to insult them, so if you see that, it's probably pretty literal

Can be insulting or friendly banter depending on tone and context.

Sort of like "bitch" in english or "boludo" in Argentina I take. But does baka really mean "someone of inferior intelligence" as "idiot" would suggest?

Literally, yes.
