In the southern United States, "damn" is considered a minor curse. It's just something that you don't say around children and try not to blurt out in public. I'd probably get in trouble if I said it in front of customers at work.

Rooster Teeth is based in Texas, so they're planted right in a culture that considers "damn" to be a minor curse. So, to them, adding "damn" to the characters' vocabulary back in Volume 3 probably felt like an escalation into swearing in the show.
