It does. But while in English you could easily say something like "you son of a bitch, you did it" to a friend, you wouldn't do the same with Hurensohn in German as this would offend most people.
Yeah, that's the ballpark of where "Hurensohn" is on the harshness scale. You can't say it admiringly either. So "oh, you son of a bitch, you did it!" isn't possible for "Hurensohn".

Should be noted that Hurensohn in German is a lot harsher than son of a bitch in English

Doesn't it literally mean "whore-son" (huren-sohn)?
My German is poor.

Lemmy.ml has a slur filter that bans words like female dog (derogatory) and prostitute (derogatory).

Google notes huren as whore, if that lines up a bit more, with sohn being pretty self-explanatory.

Never met an Aussie that can't say expletives in an endearing way.
