After reading all of these posts my word does not seem as hurtful but more dismissive. I do not like the word whatever because it feels dismissive. I think that it could be used in a flippant manner as well which leads to that dismissive feeling.
A lot of where I have been around this word is when you are trying to have a discussion with someone very important to you and say you have given a good 3 minutes of dialogue only to have this person say "whatever" or "whatever you want", etc.
It really feels dismissive to me as though everything I just said was not taken in at all by the other person, where they have digested it, mulled it over, and come up with a thoughtful and constructive response.
(Hopefully I have stayed with the vein of this thread- but again that is what came to mind when I read all of the posts)
