Because when someone sees a word like that, and it sticks with them. A lot of the time, they start to use it too, and that creates a societal mess. There was a time when a lot of the language used today would have been unheard of, and anyone who used it would have been considered obscene. But now those words are considered normal-- I have heard elementary schoolers use them. It might not seem like much, but little by little it is leading society downhill. And it is hurting people. Words like that lower peoples' respect for each other. Even the fact that you would lable it as a "slight curse word"-- there was a time when that was not how it would have been labled. It's subtle things like this that are leading the society downhill. No matter how small this seems, it has a huge amount of significance.
