We currently have the value of not wanting to perform in a needlessly discriminatory or harmful fashion.
If we want to be consistent in our values, we can't make special exceptions without merit.
The making fun of people on the autism spectrum is a needlessly discriminatory and harmful element without any merit that justifies its exception.
Therefore, to be consistent in our values we cannot make a special exception for these elements.
Also, the argument of, "I have Asperger's so it's okay because I'm not offended," is EXACTLY the same as someone saying, "I'm black or gay and I'm not offended by these pejoratives." An excuse that won't stop you from being banned in such cases.
Also, maybe we should spitball some replacement names/descriptions? Butt burger, the burger with more buns
