This is my point. No, it doesn't. It's just a word. When written, it's just a string of letters. When said, it's just some sounds. It's not magic.

No one is pained by hearing or seeing it...they're pretending to be.

No words should be off limits and absolutely no words should be off limits to some but not others. That's how you end up with this level of mental gymnastics attempting to make it sound normal.
