I'm a picky eater. There are a lot of foods that I don't want. But I don't consider them inherently evil.
Swearing decreases my status, which means that I will make less money, which means that I won't be able to afford to buy as many mosquito nets for poor africans, which means that more of them will die of malaria. If I swear, evil things will happen, but it's not the swearing itself that's evil.
