should we remove asperger's jokes y/n
#36
Here's the item names and descriptions for everyone to look at:

Code:
/obj/item/reagent_containers/food/snacks/burger/assburger
    name = "assburger"
    desc = "This burger gives off an air of awkwardness."
    icon_state = "assburger"

/obj/item/reagent_containers/food/snacks/pie/ass
    name = "asspie"
    desc = "Awkward."
    icon_state = "asspie"

/obj/item/reagent_containers/food/snacks/ingredient/spaghetti
    name = "sperghetti noodles"
    desc = "Original italian sperghetti spaghetti noodles."
    icon_state = "sperghetti"

/obj/item/reagent_containers/food/snacks/spaghetti/
    name = "sperghetti noodles"
    desc = "Just noodles on their own."
    icon_state = "sperg_plain"  

/obj/item/reagent_containers/food/snacks/spaghetti/sauce
    name = "sperghetti with tomato sauce"
    desc = "Eh, the sauce tastes pretty bland..."
    icon_state = "sperg_dish"

/obj/item/reagent_containers/food/snacks/spaghetti/meatball
    name = "sperghetti and meatballs"
    desc = "That's better!"
    icon_state = "sperg_meatball"

/obj/item/reagent_containers/food/snacks/spaghetti/meatball
    name = "sperghetti and meatballs"
    desc = "That's better!"
    icon_state = "sperg_meatball"

The descriptions of asspie and assburger are obvious references that might need to be changed, but aren't issue #1.

The real issue was in the cultural use of "sperg" as a pejorative, which is what i think is what was meant to be addressed.
