Yeah I've noticed that in a few cartoon, like one where the characters had ended up in actual hell and Hell had a signpost that read 'Hell' crossed out and 'Heck' written in crayon I think that sums up my stance on it - Hell shouldn't be used as an expletive like "What the hell are you doing?" but in direct reference to the metaphysical plane itself that should be allowed as it the classic "My Auntie is a zombie, from Hell!"
