I was reading a webtoon and came across this sentence:

> 傷つきそうなコト言わないでね

I'm aware of the meaning of this sentence, but I'm confused as to why it uses
katakana here. I know that katakana is sometimes used to indicate that the
speaker is a foreigner, but this isn't the case for the character saying this
line, so I have to admit I'm a little befuddled.

Edit: I just had an idea, could it be that this indicates that the speaker is
speaking a strange voice?

question
word-choice words nuances
Why is こと written in katakana in this sentence?
「事」looks more formal, so I'd assume it's in katakana to make the word sound
more casual. I'd have to have more context to know for sure, though.
