I sometimes see comments from people who lived in Japan for years and don’t know any rude words. Obviously media about criminals uses a lot of crude language (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jlqx-YnPb2M&pp=ygUf44GT44Gu6YeO6YOOIOOCouOCpuODiOODrOOCpOOCuA%3D%3D) as well as different dialects with rolled Rs so I wonder how much those learners would struggle to follow it. I can see some terminology being confusing, “soap land” does not mean a shop for bathroom products for instance. That said this sort of media also contains a lot of more respectable Japanese as well. 馬鹿見たい sounds exactly like an old Japanese song from the 1980s.

The same would apply to real life teenage boys or drunk men arguing who also use a lot of rude expressions.
