As someone mentioned before, there is no real concept of cuss words in Japan in the first place. There are rude words for sure that have their place, but it's not regarded as like "OOOOOOH, you said the ______ word!!" I hear rather crass words like 'kuso' or 'bakayarou' in like--little kids anime and other things that aren't directed at older people necessarily. The reason why they translate 'kuso' to like '*****/damn' in dubbed anime or whatever is because Americans think that sounds more badass and cool than literally 'poop/crap'XD
