First, it will not hurt your application since, as others have pointed out, you do not need to submit it to colleges. Also, since you are a rising junior, you have the option of taking the test again at the end of this year.

You can pay for a rescore, but this is likely only to uncover objective scoring errors, not subjective factors such as “hard graders”. A higher score is highly unlikely.

Finally, perhaps this would be most profitable for you if you used the experience to more accurately assess yourself and your strengths/weaknesses. Based on your post, you believe the use of profanity expresses strong emotion. However, I would suspect that most scorers would consider this an inappropriate use of language. I recognize that how you write in an online post is different from how you write an essay, but my larger point is that everyone needs to evaluate how their words impact readers differently.
