No it's exclusively not; this has to be one of the dumbest takes I've read here.
And you have no authority to tell other people how to think or speak. Go away. Fuck off to your own echo chamber where reading a specific word doesn't hurt your feelings.
I am correct. This has been the case for millennia. You being stupid and ignorant doesn't make me wrong. Once upon a time saying something like "To Hell with you!" was considered blasphemy and could actually get you killed. Plenty of people have been attacked/killed for using a profanity. https://billygraham.org/answer/what-is-blasphemy-is-it-the-same-thing-as-profanity-i-admit-that-once-in-a-while-i-get-upset-and-use-some-cuss-words-i-probably-shouldnt-but-i-dont-really-mean-anything-by-it/

"others may lose their potency through overuse"
"the usage of "hell" in contexts that trivialize or mock its religious implications may be deemed offensive or sacrilegious by devout individuals. "
"Phrases such as "What the hell," "Like hell," and "Hell no" are frequently utilized to underscore strong emotions..."
Proving my point
"its casual usage in everyday speech reflects the evolving landscape of profanity and societal attitudes towards language."
Not as strong now since it has been used so much
I'm not telling anyone how to think or feel. That's a dumbass thing for you to say. I'm explaining, not dictating. Just because your ego is extremely fragile and your mind is obviously incapable of understanding explanations by others doesn't make you right. So to Hell with you, damn asshole.
That's a lot of words for saying "no u".
