First off - thank you so much for bringing all of this to my attention! orz, it's really kind of you, especially putting so much thought into all of this. And I hope I don't disappoint you and manage to actually implement some of your suggestions.
Re: the hostility - I'm overdoing it a bit, right? That was my overall feeling too. I think I fall way too hard on that extreme, trying to avoid softening him up. And yes, he's admittedly more PG-13 oriented in his language. I think I let 'fuck' slide too much because, don't shoot, I think most of us are pretty used to overlooking it. It's fallen so badly into common use that it detracts from the actual rawness of the word. In short, it's a lazy way of conveying 'asshole' while hopefully not jarring the person writing Kanda's interlocutors too hard. But I shouldn't be lazy, so you're definitely right
