* is used to give emphasis and show that they are using the word as curse word rather just calling it bad
It doesn't read as emphasis to me. It reads like the person is trying hard not to curse, and they think "crap" is a curse word. It's a little bit adorable, like I'm reading a comment from an obedient child.
like for example, c*nt?
