So you've got a work where the characters rarely say anything stronger than "hell" or "damn", or swear in Unusual Euphemisms or Future Slang, or even do swear more strongly but infrequently.
Then along come the Fan Fic writers, and suddenly everyone's dropping Cluster F Bombs left, right and center. There seems to be this idea that you have to have this in an R-rated story, or simply the writer's own mannerisms leaking in. No matter that it's already got more than enough sex and violence to justify the R, the Obligatory Swearing is obligatory. Also happens to some extent in PG13-rated fics. Fridge Logic ensues when characters swear more strongly than they do in canon in situations less upsetting than they've actually been through, and seeing SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly OddParents!, Bert and Ernie, or a pony drop an F-Bomb is nothing if not jarring. Of course, Fridge Logic goes the other way with works involving teenage characters, who don't swear in canon, even when in massive pain: Even Quentin Tarantino movies are cleaner than five minutes of overheard conversation in the average high school cafeteria.
A variation occurs in Fan Subs, in which either a word has multiple translations and the subbers go for the stronger one, or simply adding swearing where there wasn't any to cover up the fact that they're not as fluent in Japanese as they'd like us to think. "Bastard" in particular is really overused, apparently the de facto translation for "yarou" or the pronoun "kisama" (which, nuance-wise, is actually closer to "ruffian", "swine", or "fiend"). This also applies to some official translated releases, particularly early English-language dubs of anime, which would add swearing to help "prove" that the audience wasn't watching "kiddy cartoons" (even if some of them were, as in the case of shonen series airing on teen or adult-friendly blocks like [adult swim]). Part of the problem may be from the Japanese language's lack of real swears in general, most insults being simply rude, with the ones that do exist being rather obscure and antiquated; it's not uncommon for characters from preschool anime to interject "kuso!", which translates to "shit!" or "crap!"
Fan works that were originally written in non-English European languages tend to invite this, as they generally lack minced oaths like "darn" or "heck". (If the work was translated by the bilingual author, this often overlaps with Did Not Do the Bloody Research, since sexual and excretory curse words, although still viewed as quite impolite, tend to lack the edge in languages other than English—it's religious curse words that are most likely to offend.) Germany, in particular, since they tend to take cursing in stride moreso than other European countries; even "Scheiße" (shit) often appears in otherwise family-friendly works.
A subtrope of Darker and Edgier; this is to profanity what Hotter and Sexier is to sex and Bloodier and Gorier is to violence. Contrast Rated G for Gangsta, in which a person or character who you would reasonably expect to swear doesn't. Sometimes done to Avoid the Dreaded G Rating and flip it right around to Rated M for Manly or Rated M for Money. If the swearing is used for dramatic effect, it's a Precision F-Strike.

The first season of Sherlock has John using both "shit" and "fuck," but only as curses cut short. In the season two episode A Scandal in Belgravia, this upgrades to John saying "shit" in full.

In one translation of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica manga, Kyouko uses Cluster F Bombs when she gets angry. For example, after wounding Sayaka in their first fight, she says "What the fuck was that about? You'd better keep your shit together, pisshead." (Emphasis theirs.)

The subtitle track of the official DVD release of REDLINE contains frequent Cluster F-Bombs, even though this is usually a... loose translation of the original Japanese at best. The fact that the one actual F-Bomb in the original audio was a Curse Cut Short makes this seem a bit weird, as does another case where JP simply repeating the name of the planet the eponymous race is to be hosted on is rendered as "no fucking way". Oddly, the unofficial fansub was actually cleaner!

It's possibly justified in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in that the characters are older and the stakes are higher than in any previous book in the series. The same can be said of the films, simply because it's hard to translate "Ron cursed loudly" into film without having Ron actually curse loudly.

The original English releases of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together and Ogre Battle 64, translated by Atlus, use practically every swear word in the English language short of the f-bomb. Vice in particular is especially foul-mouthed for somebody on the good guys' side. The PSP retranslation of the former, helmed by Alexander O. Smith, cut out almost all the swearing.

Fan translations of Nnoitra's dialogue in Bleach are often rife with this. Justified in that he really doesn't care about anything or anybody outside of being a superior fighter, which makes his potty mouth all the funnier when Neliel throws his and her own Cero back at him and all he can say in response is "Aw... shit!"

This is particularly common among the Fire Emblem modding community. The Fire Emblem games don't swear very much or very strongly at all (the occasional hell or damn at worst, and if the writers are really feeling edgy they'll throw in a bastard for spice, but that's as far as they go), but mod writers tend to "spice things up" by throwing all sorts of strong swears into the dialogue. They generally have little reason other than "people swear when they're angry".

In many cases, the characters curse inconsistently. It's quite common for authors to asterisk out "fuck" and spell out "shit", and one Redwall fic featured Martin the Warrior (who, frankly, is unlikely to use either term) calling the behaviour of a friend who he thought had ruined his life "cow-skite" and casually dropping "fuck" two sentences later.

A lot of YouTube Poop gets laughs by making cartoon characters swear profusely, though most of the time the swearwords are bleeped because the characters didn't swear in the original show, and it's not easy to find them saying things like "pingas" that can be clipped out of context without Walrusguy levels of sentence-mixing.

Reconciliation has Hanako using quite a bit of profanity in her first-person narration, albeit none in her actual dialogue. Other characters' use of profanity is more reasonable; Akira uses some profanity, and Lilly, as in canon, limits herself to a single Precision F-Strike after her husband Hisao's funeral.

Star Trek: Picard fires off the F-bombs like proton torpedoes its first season. Though likely meant to emphasize the Darker and Edgier nature of the show, it just came off as immature to a lot of viewers. In response, things were scaled back drastically for the second and third seasons, which combined have only 3 F-bombs across 20 episodes.

Vita tends to get this in Lyrical Nanoha fan translations, fanfiction and the official dub of A's, as a result of often using "Kuso" and having a fairly rude way of talking. (like when she screams "WHAT'D YOU SAY, BITCH?" at Nanoha in chapter 7 of the manga)

The early "uncut" English dub releases of Naruto were essentially the main dub that aired on television, except the violence wasn't censored and there was random bits of mild profanity sprinkled about. This includes such lines as Ino saying "Take that bitch down!" during the Shikamaru vs Temari fight (instead of "Take her down!") and Shikamaru saying "'The hell with it, I give up" when he forfeits against Temari (instead of "Okay, that's it, I give up"). The dub has since made the profanity less sparse as it's stopped airing on Toonami (or at least the kid-aimed version of Toonami).

Along with sexual content, a ramping up of swearing is also seen as an obligation for series produced for streaming and premium cable. Following this trope backfired on the made-for-streaming Star Trek: Discovery in 2017 when, for the first time, the F-word was used in an early episode. Aside from creating a Broken Base scenario between fans offended by it and those who loved it, when the episode aired pre-watershed in Canada (the only country to release it through traditional broadcast), enough viewers complained that the network was officially reprimanded by the federal broadcast authority for airing the episode too early in the evening in a series from a generally family-friendly franchise.

Subverted in the RWBY fanfic The Black Hearts. Melanie Black swears like a sailor, and this story has more profanity than any other story in its series, The Makings of Team CRME. However, she is the only one using it so liberally. Marcus, notably an alcoholic and domestic abuser, only uses one swear word in the whole fic and it's a relatively mild one ("damn"). And as soon as Melanie is taken out of the story, profanity all but disappears. And throughout the rest of the series, while there is more profanity than featured in the show, it is used quite sparingly. The only other time such liberal use of profanity was when she returned in CRME. Her appearance has more profanity than the entire rest of the fic.

Initial D: When Keisuke encounters Takumi in episode 1, when he sees the car he's driving, Keisuke goes, "An AE86? No fucking way!" The official dub and sub translate it to, "That's an AE86. You got to be kidding me!" Aside from that, with the exception of Bunta encouraging Takumi to beat the pants off a smartass kid, the translation is pretty accurate.

Dragon Ball:
The old Anime Labs Dragon Ball Z fansubs went way overboard. One of the most infamous examples, a line uttered by Vegeta after having his house destroyed in Wrath of the Dragon, reads "You fucking bastard! You dare to destroy my house! Now you've really pissed me off! Fuck you!" in their translation, but the official (and much more accurate) Funimation translation reads as "Smash up another man's house, will you?! I'm in a foul mood today! Don't come too close or you'll get burned!" Another example is "Come out, you candy-ass faggot!", corrupted from "Where are you!? Come on out, you coward! Show yourself!"
The German dubbing, although not to the point of overdoing it, did periodically insert "Scheiße" (shit) into the dialog, and Cell famously exclaims "Oh, shit!" in English before being hit by Vegeta's Final Flash.
The uncut FUNimation dub of Dragon Ball Z Kai dips into this to a lesser extent, featuring some "dammits" and "what the hells", a few "bastards", and one memorable use of "dumbass". It might be more jarring for longtime viewers since the original dub suffered from Gosh Dang It to Heck!.
The MangaStream scanslation of Dragon Ball Super curses a blue streak so wide you'd almost think it was translated by former members of Anime Labs. Seriously.◊

Hunting the Unicorn subverts this. It's a Glee fanfic written in a very traditional style, but the Warblers swear a lot more than they do in canon. It seems more due to the fact that they're a group of teenaged guys who take everything quite seriously rather than an attempt to make things more adult, and they mostly use Precision F Strikes that are Sophisticated as Hell. In fact, the author rates it Teen instead of R, and the most she does is give a warning for people who dislike heavy swearing.

King of the Hill had great fun with this in its first 8 seasons, inserting all sorts of colorful profanities into the dialogue to make it sound more natural/adult/funny. This practice was abandoned in the rest of the dub.

Danced about in the Jaidenverse, a Darker and Edgier reimagining of the Harry Potter universe, in which the swearing is stronger and more frequent but c-nsored l-ke th-s.

Final Fantasy VII:
Almost any interjection made by a frustrated character was translated as anything from "dammit" to "shit", even when the characters weren't even swearing originally (e.g. frustrated grunts such as "��" often became something like "Shit..."). Granted, it's one of the darker installments in the series. This is probably due to the localization being handled by Sony USA instead of Square themselves, as later Final Fantasy games have much more PG-level language.
Since the (usually grawlixed-out) swearing is one of the things that was innovative about the game at the time, Final Fantasy VII Remake includes as much swearing as the T/PEGI 16 rating will let it get away with - which means any swearing so long as it's never harder than 'shit'. Characters liberally pepper their dialogue with the word 'shit', from toughguys like Cloud, Barret and Reno all the way down to somewhat less expected characters like Aerith. In the original game Cloud said 'shit' exactly once (and even that was removed in the PC version).

Ghost of You (Harry Potter) has comparatively less swearing (being much shorter than its predecessor), but still all lines aside from Luna's (who just says "Oh my like god, what are you, like, listening to?") involve either "fuck" or calling one's friends "bitches".

In Japan, Inuyasha, based on a sh�nen manga, was marketed mainly to older youth audiences. In America, it was aired by [adult swim] and the English dub features the occasional light swearing (for example, in Episode 5 of The Final Act, the titular character yells "Bastard!" at someone he's strangling out of anger).

In Senran Kagura after XSEED accommodated the series with an M Rating / 16 PEGI due the values dissonance in some western countries, the English lines got kinkier and strong cuss words started being used; Mirai for one speaks like a sailor once she gets feisty, firing "fucks" like no tomorrow.

In the Resident Evil franchise despite the very gruesome nature of the series the dialogue remained fairly tame in profanity for many years, the cast would react to extreme violence mostly with "damn" and once in a while with "shit"; Resident Evil 7: Biohazard came in however and with it the dialogue then matched all the violence, usage of "fuck", "motherfucker" and many variations are plenty, and with the remake for Resident Evil 2 it seems strong cuss words are here to stay for a while.

The Metal Gear series usually has very little swearing, just the occasional "damn" here and there. But there are exceptions:
In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, one of the radio conversations you can have is about a nightmare Sigint had about a giant walking turd that turns everything it shoots into shit.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots also dropped an F-bomb in the first boss fight. The first in the series, in fact, if you're playing in English. note Eva drops an F-bomb in the Japanese version of Snake Eater.
Perhaps by way of being a spin-off, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has a lot more swearing than any other game with the name Metal Gear attached.

Warriors: The Days The Clans Died sneaks in a few curses. "Bastard" stands out as Orphaned Etymology because cats don't have an equivalent. They lack marriage systems and queens don't even have to state who their kits' sires are, so the closest to a "bastard" would probably be a Child of Forbidden Love.

Bakuman。 fan translations sometimes have this, and as of Volume 3, the Viz translation is moving toward this. It (and some fan translations) has Takagi calling a character in the in-universe series St. Visual Girls' Academy who coldly brushes aside Azuki's character's Love Confession a "bitch", and Fukuda complaining about Yujiro being "half-assed" in not making Eiji meet with him, and Yujiro accusing Yoshida of thinking himself "hot shit" over Otter 11's popularity.

Farscape. In the first episode produced after the premiere (though it aired Out of Order), Aeryn Sun uses the word "crap" to make it clear to the audience that they're not watching Star Trek. However, this quickly became Early-Installment Weirdness with the adoption of a unique vocabulary of alien curse words.

The Halloween Hack averts this for most of the game, until the Final Boss begins his Boss Banter with a Cluster F-Bomb that contains a homophobic slur, and later uses an attack called PSI Bitchkill. The creator regrets including it, and considering what the base game was like for 90% of the playtime, it's easy to see why.

The Transformers: The Movie:
Spike's "Oh shit! What are we gonna do now!?" and Ultra Magnus's "Open, dammit! Open!" Transformers has always been Merchandise-Driven, but back in the '80s they were much more shameless about it—the insertion of swear words into the movie was a calculated attempt to get parents into the theater so they'd recognize the new characters on store shelves (though it's debatable if this would have helped, given the Show Accuracy/Toy Accuracy of the time).
The Hungarian DVD dub of the movie is infamous for this (among other things). Ironhide, for instance, calls the Decepticons "szarháziak" (sons of bitches) twice, while Grimlock calls Blurr a "seggfej" (asshole). Though the "Oh shit!" line was cut from this version.

Chainsaw Man went through this at times, as Kishibe's line "I'll turn you into the baddest of badasses" had the fan translation of "I'll turn you two into the craziest motherfuckers ever."

One major complaint about Titans (2018), as the streaming network release gave it significant freedom in terms of content, and thus allowed for swearing. This went alongside being a Darker and Edgier adaptation of the New Teen Titans era comics, which featured Dick Grayson's Robin as a brutal vigilante who memorably declares "fuck Batman" in the first trailer. While it could be argued this was done to be realistic, many found it excessive and made the characters seem far more immature than intended, and came across as the writers trying to be as edgy as possible rather than reflect how the characters would actually talk. It's not helped by the fact Titans was based on the same comics that previously inspired the 2003 Teen Titans cartoon, so most audiences were used to seeing the title characters as their more innocent, comedy-driven selves.
Doom Patrol (2019), the pseudo-spin-off was similar, however this was much better received than in Titans thanks to being much better utilised. The show didn't arbitrarily make everyone a pottymouth, with it mostly just being Jane and Cliff who swear regularly, while the more refined Rita Farr and Larry being far more restrained. Jane and Cliff are troubled Jerk with a Heart of Gold types with severe emotional maturity issues, and so for them, the swearing comes off as fitting their characters as it reflects their lack of maturity. Rita and Larry are more emotionally repressed in nature, so while they might swear when heated, they don't spout them out to the same casual level Jane and Cliff do, with Rita talking in her artificial 50s Hollywood manner, and Larry being rather quiet and reserved. And then, the rest of the cast vary, but generally will swear when it seems fitting or not at all if its not in-character. Largely, this works better for Doom Patrol, which is explicitly a surrealist deconstruction of Rag Tag Bunch Of Misfits-style superhero teams, and the show being a non-traditional superhero series, so the swearing fits better than it would for a more serious superhero series intended to be an adaptation that plays itself straight.

Both Transformers: Prime and its lighter sequel Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) contain a few examples of profanity, like Starscream calling the Autobots "bastards" or giving a big "eff you" to Shockwave, and Thunderhoof telling the Autobots "don't fug with me". Thundercracker from Transformers: Cyberverse almost said "bitch" in one episode in reference to Windblade, but was cut off.

After the End (Arabella and Zsenya) warns for swearing in its header, but averts this trope by keeping it low-key, dramatically appropriate and in-character. At the time it was written, 2000-2002, swearing in Harry Potter fanfic was uncommon and mostly done for the questionable edgy humour value of having children's book characters effing and blinding all over the place, as noted on the quotes page.

The House of the Dead: OVERKILL has gone on record for having the most instances of the word "fuck" uttered in a game. The first words spoken are "Whazzup, motherfucker!" Isaac Washington uses "motherfucker" so often that the one time he conspicuously doesn't gets a Lampshade Hanging.
The game even made it into the Guinness World Records for being the most profane game ever. However, it was beaten a year later by Mafia II, though Overkill's Updated Re-release took the title back.

In the European Spanish translation of the Death Note manga by Glénat, it's pretty common to find (along with some local expressions sprayed everywhere) profanity that wasn't in the original. Weirdly, most of the profanity appears in Light Yagami's lines.

The Bob-omb Mafia is one of the first full hacks of Super Mario RPG. It's also one of the edgiest; in early versions, the dialogue is full of heavy swearing, including from characters like Mallow (who is a young boy). While most of it is excusable as emphasizing the Wretched Hive setting, it ends on a single screen of text featuring a Suicide Dare directed at the player, seemingly just to be offensive.

Very noticeable in fansubs for Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. The anime is based on a series that is consistently rated low, was specifically intended for younger or inexperienced players, and most damningly of all has a cutesy pink creampuff as its main character. There is nothing in the series that would be considered inappropriate for children, aside from the occasional weirdly transparent Parental Bonus, and the odd insistence of making him look a little more angry on the North American box art for his games (as well as a single "damn" spoken by King Dedede in the official English dub of the episode "Cappy Town Down"). All of this is, of course, completely ignored by the fansubs, resulting in jarring and almost surreal moments in which a cuddly Sanrio-esque character uses words like "bullshit".

And finally an example where dub-induced profanities were somewhat appropriate given the subject matter, the Hungarian dub of the RoboCop animated series was written to stay in tune with the original films, sprinkling in words such as "damn", "bastard", "son of a bitch", "asshole" or "whore".

The Stalking Zuko Series tends to fall into this in later installments, since "Not Stalking Zuko" is rated T and "Not Stalking Firelord Zuko" is rated M. As a result, you can see characters using profanity that they not only wouldn't have used in canon but also didn't use in earlier installments.

To Kill a Mockingbird: Scout goes through this "phase" in Chapter 9, which is rather unsettling when you remember she's only 7-8 years old, and her father (who is in his late 40s) doesn't swear at all.

Naruto:
The early "uncut" English dub releases of Naruto were essentially the main dub that aired on television, except the violence wasn't censored and there was random bits of mild profanity sprinkled about. This includes such lines as Ino saying "Take that bitch down!" during the Shikamaru vs Temari fight (instead of "Take her down!") and Shikamaru saying "'The hell with it, I give up" when he forfeits against Temari (instead of "Okay, that's it, I give up"). The dub has since made the profanity less sparse as it's stopped airing on Toonami (or at least the kid-aimed version of Toonami).
In Japan, Boruto has aired on a kid's block alongside Pokémon. In America, it's a Toonami show and features the occasional light swearing (oftentimes once or twice an episode), such as "damn it" popping up.

"Helluva Boss" often gets criticized with it's use of swears. While it's self explanitory for a show about hell to be using plenty of cursing, many claim it's usage is often for the sake of it and it gets interjected in sentences where they usually wouldn't need to otherwise. Every other character, whether human or demon, also swears, so it's not exactly used for characterization either. Although since it is on youtube, they could be doing so anyway to Avoid the Dreaded G Rating.

The Hungarian dub of Dragon Ball GT was so fond of the expression "Basszus!" (meaning "Shit!" or "Damn!") that the translator was eventually asked by the fans to tone it down or at least use other words.

The English dub of the second TV series had the same treatment, likely to justify its inclusion on [adult swim]. And Tokyopop's translation of the manga series was filled with profanity (likely due to the manga itself being darker, edgier, and more sexually-explicit than the anime that followed).

In the Devil May Cry mainline series mostly kept itself with only mild cuss words over the years, ranging from "damn", "shit" to "asshole" at most, strong cussing was implemented in the attempted reboot with DmC: Devil May Cry with "fucks" a-plenty, Devil May Cry 5 however marks the point where the mainline series also brings the "fucks" home, courtesy of Nero later in the game during a very personal fight, he who already did most of the previous mild swearing in Devil May Cry 4 anyway. To top it off there’s Griffon who unlike Nero doesn’t need to be under emotional impulse to spew the strong words, the bird has plenty of fucks to give during gameplay, for attacks and mission dialogue.

The Mahou-X scan of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches — while generally regarded as a surprisingly good scanlation with a lot of work put into it — is extremely rife with this, to the point that Shiraishi seems to be the only character who doesn't say "fuck", "shit" or "ass" in every other panel. In Yamada's case, it is believable that he would swear a lot (he also swears regularly in the official Crunchyroll translation, just using milder profanities), but in some of the others' cases, it is a bit overdone even if they are teenagers.

Earlier versions of Final Fantasy VI Brave New World are fairly notorious for this, as the clever reinvention of the base game's mechanics came bundled with a "revised translation" that was full of this (along with more than one Discredited Meme and several characters becoming Wangstier). Relm and Kefka in particular could make a sailor blush. Later revisions starting with 1.3 toned down the swearing a fair bit, but it was still bad enough that there are two patches that fix this. One of them is censored, the other tries to be more faithful to the vanilla game's script.

The official manga translation of To Love Ru in Spain has a lot of swearing for no reason, especially from Rito, something about as Out of Character for him as it gets. The best example is one line with him saying "What's going on?" in the original becoming simply "Fuckers!", not even "What the fuck is going on?" or something, just "Fuckers!". Since the translation also has quite a bit of Gratuitous Japanese, it gives a "bad scanlation" vibe.

My Immortal gives us Dumbledore screaming "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU MOTHERFUKERS!" It even misspells non-profane words as profanities.
If Snape has uttered five lines and already used two obscenities, and the situation is anything less shocking than The End of the World as We Know It or Harry Potter becoming his direct superior (or possibly the line "She has your eyes"), you probably don't know how to write Snape.
The Girl Who Lived series has a lot more swearing. The odd thing is that this is a Fix Fic, so... the author apparently thought that Harry should have swore more.
Silver and Bronze: The Conspiracy of the Shapeshifter gives us one character who lives for this example: Susan.
Thirty Hs features an intentional overload of cursing as the cherry on the sundae of utter sanity that is the fanfic itself. Among other things, Harry "kills the fuck out of" Mercury and Venus with his guitar Fuckslayer after Dumbledore informs him that he "must rock the fuck out".
Ghost of You (Harry Potter) has comparatively less swearing (being much shorter than its predecessor), but still all lines aside from Luna's (who just says "Oh my like god, what are you, like, listening to?") involve either "fuck" or calling one's friends "bitches".

Likewise some of the Doctor Who novels; The BBC actually threatened to withdraw the publisher's license if they continued with it. The Eighth Doctor Adventures play with this trope; the Doctor's only cursed once out loud and while himself, but almost all the other characters occasionally swear, although the F-bomb usually only appears in the form of a Curse Cut Short.

The cursing in High Guardian Spice only fuels its Uncertain Audience. Good-faith critics have noted that, besides it clashing rather jarringly with the colorful, lighthearted setting and characters, the strong language is highly inconsistent; characters use laughably mild expletives like "dang", "crap", or "oh my word", then drop a casual "shit" for no particular reason, then return to throwing around neutered interjections. A symptom of Crunchyroll executives forcing the writers to Avoid the Dreaded G Rating.

So much Warrior Cats fanfiction includes swearing, even though the books don't. This isn't because the book characters don't swear, but because they swear using feline profanities. So it seems really out of place when, in fanfic, someone yells "shit!" or calls someone a "bastard" while in the original novels they would have used "fox dung!" or called them a "fox-hearted traitor":
Probably the best example of this in fanfic would be a one-shot which features a kit dropping an f-bomb in every line of dialogue. That's right, a kit.
Apprentice and Pregnant features more human swears than cat swears. The writer has stated they prefer writing more human-like cats, resulting in a lot of human cursing and human gestures.
Warriors: The Days The Clans Died sneaks in a few curses. "Bastard" stands out as Orphaned Etymology because cats don't have an equivalent. They lack marriage systems and queens don't even have to state who their kits' sires are, so the closest to a "bastard" would probably be a Child of Forbidden Love.

Doom Patrol (2019), the pseudo-spin-off was similar, however this was much better received than in Titans thanks to being much better utilised. The show didn't arbitrarily make everyone a pottymouth, with it mostly just being Jane and Cliff who swear regularly, while the more refined Rita Farr and Larry being far more restrained. Jane and Cliff are troubled Jerk with a Heart of Gold types with severe emotional maturity issues, and so for them, the swearing comes off as fitting their characters as it reflects their lack of maturity. Rita and Larry are more emotionally repressed in nature, so while they might swear when heated, they don't spout them out to the same casual level Jane and Cliff do, with Rita talking in her artificial 50s Hollywood manner, and Larry being rather quiet and reserved. And then, the rest of the cast vary, but generally will swear when it seems fitting or not at all if its not in-character. Largely, this works better for Doom Patrol, which is explicitly a surrealist deconstruction of Rag Tag Bunch Of Misfits-style superhero teams, and the show being a non-traditional superhero series, so the swearing fits better than it would for a more serious superhero series intended to be an adaptation that plays itself straight.

The fan translation of the Metroid manga contains six swear words in the first chapter alone. The original games, in contrast, only had one use of "damn" in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and even that got removed from later releases.

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt wasn't a clean show to begin with, but the English dub adds even more cursing than what was previously there. This was at the direct request of the series creator, who wanted to learn new English swear words.

Countdown to Final Crisis had Mary Marvel (normally the cute kid sister of the DC Universe) go evil, then get a grip on herself and turn good... only to go evil again at the very end. In the final issue, she explained just who she was: "I'm Mary Damn Marvel."

Used in one fansub of Good Luck Girl!, to the point where another user controversially made a version of the same fansub with the f-word replaced/removed every time it occurred.

The old Anime Labs Dragon Ball Z fansubs went way overboard. One of the most infamous examples, a line uttered by Vegeta after having his house destroyed in Wrath of the Dragon, reads "You fucking bastard! You dare to destroy my house! Now you've really pissed me off! Fuck you!" in their translation, but the official (and much more accurate) Funimation translation reads as "Smash up another man's house, will you?! I'm in a foul mood today! Don't come too close or you'll get burned!" Another example is "Come out, you candy-ass faggot!", corrupted from "Where are you!? Come on out, you coward! Show yourself!"

Among other things, the game Shadow the Hedgehog was infamous for having the title character gratuitously using the word "damn" as well as, to a lesser extent, "hell". Even other characters, like Knuckles, Espio, and Sonic get in on the act too.

Pop Team Epic uses this resource frequently, most in the original 4koma than in the anime adaptation, but isn't safe of this, mostly seen in Popuko's Mickey Mouse imitation where the half of the imitation makes bleep. Then there's the Chilean Abridged Series Pop Team Epic en Chileno, where the swears in Chilean Spanish are very common in this Gag Dub.

Perhaps by way of being a spin-off, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has a lot more swearing than any other game with the name Metal Gear attached.

In the manga version of Kingdom Hearts, there's some profanity sprinkled into scanlations; first it starts out in early chapters with words like "crap" and "freaking", no worse then what you'd hear on Cartoon Network, but then the language goes up to "damn", "hell", "bastard", and one use of "effing." It's quite surprising considering it stars Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, etc. in it. In the official Tokyopop and Yen Press volumes, rated "all ages", there's no profanity at all.

React Watch Believe Yikes can certainly feel like it falls into this category. At the time it was produced, RWBY had only just finished its first volume, in which nobody swore at all save for one Curse Cut Short; an extreme rarity for a Rooster Teeth production. Even considering they probably picked up the habit from watching Red vs. Blue, having them use "fuck" from the get-go is rather out of place.
