Additionally, you may be taken less seriosuly or in a different light altogether than what your original intention was by using a swear word versus finding an alternative way to express yourself.

I'm sorry to say that I do not agree with the position that because a swear word doesn't add any value then it must not cause any harm or other issues. For the misunderstanding part, you can just add in that it's supposed to be a joke or lightly used. The offending part? We live in a world full of offensive things, such as racism, sexism, and pornography, swearing pales in comparison. If I'm taken less seriously, then okay then. This is a wikia for the community, not for serious reasons. It'll be the only place I would be using these words IF I used them.
