No actually in venezuela or colombia, marica is a substitute for pana or 'dude'. The colombian friends I have all use marica between them without offensive context, 'que ha pasado marica?' is like saying 'what's up dude'. In Mexico it does mean coward so calling someone marica isn't particularly offensive but it does have a more negative connotation.
However really most insults in Spanish act very different than in English... it's not the words in here that are particularly offensive but the way they are used there's literally a popular book about the word 'verga' (cock) which is about all the different meanings insults in Spanish have depending on context.
Per example saying something 'Esta muy verga' literally translates as "it's very penis" but the meaning is actually "this is really cool" however saying "Esta de la verga" which roughly translates as "it's penis-y" means "it's awful".

I've always liked "no me vale verga"

Like per example... going back to marica. In Mexico it does mean coward but it's not particularly offensive depending on the context. You can say 'Anda no seas marica' which translates as 'come on don't be a coward' but you can say it I dunno to a friend who is scared of doing something like getting on a rollercoaster or whatever. If you say for example "pinche marica" - pinche is another word that can mean a lot of things but it usually stands for low quality... in this instance it means 'fucking' so you're more or less saying 'you fucking pussy' and that's certainly offensive.

one thing I will take away from this conversation is the phrase "it's penis-y"

this is really common in the anglophone world - I'm from scotland and being told "don't be a poof" because you don't want to go out drinking or get on a roller coast or whatever is extremely common - and is considered offensive.

There's no translation for it so penis-y haha it's penis as an adjective but saying cocky is another meaning in english... spanish would be. 'se cree muy vergas' "he thinks he's the best"

I didn't think it was that bad but I've lived in a small city in the South of China and am used to seeing cats and dogs used as meat, there isn't actually any animal cruelty going on.
