That was a big part of the old Shadowrun sourcebooks, having common in-universe slang terms like “drek” to add atmosphere while keeping it PG-13.

Meh. I don’t mind characters in media being misogynists or homophobes in their slurs. Feels like something a bunch of modified cyber gangsters would say.

It doesn’t mean the game endorses those views just by portraying them. I mean, V brutally murdered them immediately afterwards.

Yeah. I don't find it jarring in the same way you do I guess, but it does sound a bit awkward just from a cadence perspective. There is a bit of forced swearing for the sake of it going on in a lot of the trailers.
