Because society has given words connotations over the years, giving "offensive" words a meaning that some find less than desirable. Especially in more conservative places, a lot of these words have become taboo, which has increased peoples' fear of them. It's like in Harry Potter, people couldn't even say the name "Voldemort" because nobody said it and there had become a massive stigma around using it. Basically, it's society's fault and has nothing to do with the word itself.
