The regard for Socialators varied in Colonial society. Some would have seen it as an honorable, if somewhat exotic profession, others would have seen them basically as whores. Cassie herself was somewhat defensive about the job on one occasion, clearly indicating that she had an awareness that some disapproved. However, the notion that the job involved a broader sort of skills than merely having sex with clients is canonical, and the folks who most directly expressed disapproval of Cassie in the BSG pilot movie were portrayed more or less as Colonial religious conservatives. It could also be noted that amongst a group of people who would be considered leaders in the BSG universes' society (Apollo, Adama, Cain, Adama's daughter Athena (I'll set aside Starbuck since he's a bit of a rogue), there was never an impression that Cassie or associating with Cassie was particularly naughty or sketchy.

In context, I'd also argue that felgercarb was slightly closer to "bullshit" than "shit", but that's obviously a teeny tiny and highly arguable point.
