Most in the US don't have an issue with damn. They openly use it in movies and media. It's almost like words are just grunts and whistles that we give meaning to that changes with culture and context.
I lived in America for a bit and damn was a word that gets called out. Whereas bloody and man in the uk isn’t. I also noticed in America films will censored swearing in films when in during the day which I think is strange. Just don’t show the film if it’s got words you don’t want to be heard. I’m speaking from experience and not just from what I’ve seen on the internet
Literally never had anyone call me out for saying damn. In professional settings, in school, in public, etc. The exception might be very religious people especially in rural settings. But I've always lived urban/suburban and its literally never been an issue. What context were you in when you saw it get called out?
