Is 'darn it' a swear word?

Hi guys,
I was wondering whether 'darn it' was a swear word? I try not to swear at all but I hope this one is not a swear word.

Not according to the TSR swear filter apparently.

No. It's used in place of a swear word, but isn't one itself. People might still see it as rude because of that context though.

How dare you use such a vulgar phrase? I demand an apology on behalf of morality and reason.

wot in tarnation

It's more like a curse than a swear word.
