Why whenever anyone quote anything someone replies criticising them for using "scare quotes?" People commonly use quotations (in English) to emphasise, or to distinguish. It is like a poor man's italics.

Look at the context to decide if someone is using it to imply something is bad/evil/scary, in this case you cannot draw that conclusion. The OP is clearly just using it instead of italics.
