No not at all, the only downside to this is that some settings and changes may not be saved, your computer may think it's been shut off by a virus and prompt you to start safe mode on reboot, or that updates wont be installed, but there is no actual physical harm done to the computer.

I wouldn't say it is bad but it could mess up some programs on your computer. It can also delete data even if it was saved.
