"Cursed" comes from meme culture. It's not derogatory.

How isn't it derogatory? It seems to me to be something to laugh at (not with) and/or be afraid of.

Nope, it has kind of an obscure meaning, such as "unusual" or "interestingly strange". Blessed is the antonym, meaning "cathartic" or "wholesome".
