In summary:
We have the "Remove" side that says that " 'Aspie' and 'Sperg' are slurs, and even though some in the forum may not be offended, the derogatory status of the words doesn't change. We should stay consistent with our policies up to now and make Goonstation more inclusive by changing the items to something less offensive."
We also have the "Leave" side saying that "It's a flimsy connection at best, and we have numerous affected people in this forum claiming that they really don't care. If the people that are supposedly offended by this aren't offended, it isn't an issue.
Tell me if I left any major parts out of the arguments, I'm trying to look at this as objectively as I can.
