Why do you think people will actually be making arm jokes in the show? Just because people in the fandom did it? Might I point out that people in the fandom make jokes like that to cope with the bad things that happen in the series. Laughter is the best medicine and all that.

If there are any arm jokes, they might be accidental on the characters' parts, similar to how a lot of us get kind of awkward moments when talking to someone who has a disability. Like, when we use everyday phrases in front of or to someone who has a disability that the phrase doesn't quite work with, like saying "A sight for sore eyes" to a blind person or "It's a walk in the park" to a paraplegic person. And then we get really awkward like "Oh, um, I mean, 'cause, y'know, it's just a saying, heh."

So, I can imagine Yang having trouble with something and someone says "Need a hand?" attempting to be helpful but then they remember/notice her arm injury, and they're like "Oh, I mean, need help? Heh.."
