Even so, though...to take a quintessential example of profanity leaden transitions, one of the ones I've seen criticised a fair bit is TV-N's Blade (to say nothing else of it). And like, I do get why that'd be a problem, but when that's a show where BDSM monsters go around doing things like killing busses worth of children, getting caught up on the fact that the translators threw in some doodoo words to me feels so vapid.
I know they're shows for children, but to just say that kind of ignores that what a culture considers appropriate for its kids isn't a constant in any direction, not even temporally. There are tons of things aimed at kids in Japan that don't fare so well in the same context in western cultures. The target audience may be children, but a specific country's children at a specific time. It's not one size fits all.
'Course, not to say that I'm advocating for or defending gratuitous f-carpet bombing a translation, but...I can see why and how a translator may feel inclined to do these things. It really comes back to the whole context thing.
Pointless rant, but...yeah.
Well, I wouldn't watch Blade with my 7 year old niece anyway. ToQger is more the type of show I'd watch with her. Or Zyuranger since, well, child of the week and the cutesy calypso ending theme.
Or Carranger because that show is stupid and fun.
