Using "modern--modern in the sense that it is commonly used in every-day language--swears in what is ostensibly a high fantasy setting is, to me, as wildly out of place as speaking early modern English in Star Wars. It's not that I mind profanity--anyone who's spoken to me on voice is probably aware that I swear more than most--but it's anachronistic and immersion breaking to me.
I'm certain that there are at least a few reasons with which to justify the usage, but it feels wrong and jarring to me.
