The AroAce will accept no criticism. In fact, they have decided to rant about it. (found below the cut)

Some things that are Hallmarks of the classic cinematic Batman are:

-constant depression,

-emotional dysregulation,

-extreme ego and narcissism, and

-refusal to have meaningful relationships outside of casual flings.

the Lego Batman Movie, (along with every other Batman movie) highlights these character traits, and makes sure that the audience knows that they are a direct result of witnessing the death of his parents.

However, what separates Lego Batman from the rest is that he is the only one who realizes that all of those things are deeply unhealthy coping mechanisms that hurt those around him! This movie doesn't romanticize these traits like many other Batman movies. They are portrayed as what they are, and we get to witness the consequences!

Batman's giant ego, his belief that he is the best, the smartest, is such an ingrained and predictable trait that it's what allows the Joker's plan to work. Throughout the film, he discounts and demeans those who are close to him, to the point of telling Alfred, the man who took him in and raised him as his own, that he "doesn't know what it's like to have a surrogate son." He literally and metaphorically pushes everyone who cares about him away, despite them pleading for him to let them help.

It takes him being sent to (arguably) an afterlife for him to realize how much he's hurt others. And even then, at first, he denies it. However, once Lego Batman does understand this, he tries to make things right. He convinces Phyllis, (the 2x4 Lego piece responsible for the phantom zone) to let him return to his world. Upon his return he has to give up his whole, "Batman works alone" mentality, in favor of wholly relying on his friends and family. and when he tries to sacrifice himself at the end of the movie, he gives Robin the lesson that he has learned throughout the course of the movie:

"Sometimes losing people is a part of life, but that doesn't mean you stop letting them in."

Lego Batman changes for the better, and that is why he is not recalled back into the phantom zone. If this were any other iteration of Batman, he likely would have been. This is because Lego Batman is the only one who has actually taken steps to heal from his trauma and actively relies on others for emotional support. Another difference, the "others" he relies on are not romantic relationships! When most batman movies show him in a relationship, it seems to be focused on the Token Hot Woman. But in this movie, it is platonic, familial love that causes him to want to make a change. These relationships are just as valid, and, quite frankly, probably more stable for him at this point in his life.

By the end of the movie, Lego Batman still retains many of the iconic Batman traits. He still runs around at night fighting crime in a batsuit. He is still cool as hell (the character states this explicitly). and he still struggles with the trauma of losing his parents. the difference is; he no longer does it on his own.

The AroAce is protesting this vehemently. They can absolutely be trusted near massive heavy-duty machinery that can completely demolish things. They would never, EVER put important government documents or a transphobic state legislator into an active woodchipper. No way.

After a brief sexuality crisis, the aroace has remained firm in their identity while renewing their aesthetic appreciation of titties.

Broadcaster's note: There was supposed to be a pun with identity and iden-TITTY, but the aroace has butchered it, much to their disappointment :(

Sometimes I don't feel valid as an aroace dude because I have a boyfriend (I'm in a non-sexual relationship btw) and this makes me cry.

Do you have any tips on how to deal with this terrible feeling?

OFFICIAL AROACE REPLY

As much as this pains The aroace to say, they don't know. The aroace isn't really the best at dealing with feelings, but they'll share what they can.

First of all; You don't need to bear this burden alone. Talk to your boyfriend about it. He'll support you.

Also, this is directed mostly at you, but also to every aro or ace or anyone who feels like they aren't valid;

You are if you say so.

People can change and switch out labels.

The aroace thinks of it as having a piece of abstract art in your own personal museum. You can call it anything under the sun; a car, a lunchbox, whatever you want. No doubt, eventually some asshole is going to come in and look at it and say; "Oh look! This doesn't make sense!"

It doesn't make sense to them. And how would they know? THey didn't fucking paint it. And if one day, you take another look at the painting, and go, "Huh. This painting looks more like a lion than a top hat now." Then you go ahead and call it a lion.

Dammit, The aroace got off track. ANYWAY.

You are aroace as long as you want to be. You determine your own validity. You can remind yourself, "DAMMIT. maybe some people would call this something else. But as long as I own it, I get to call it whatever the fuck I want."

And while it's hard to always have the confidence to believe in yourself and your identity, you always have this entire community to fall back on.

We got you.

So, it has come to the attention of The aroace that this channel is one of the only ones solely focused on aromantic and asexual content.

The aroace find this very, very sad. The aroace wishes that all of you have a MULTITUDE of aroace posts flooding your dash; and sadly, The aroace is unable to single-handedly create enough chaos fill the niche.

But they sure as hell can try. The aroace is going to UP THEIR BULLSHIT.

But also, The aroace has also ordered a change in the system.

The popular channel @breaking-news-the-aroace-has will still be up and running, posting whenever The aroace has done a thing.

However, there will be a new channel!!!!!

INTRODUCING: @aroace-air !!!!!!!!!!

This new channel will cover ALL THINGS ARO AND ACE. They will also have news on other aroace happenings, such as characters who have come out as aroace, on aroace media, on all things both aro and ace. This channel will also serve as platform for overall aroace coordination, and especially regarding news on the ongoing invasion of denmark.

The content of @aroace-air will be open to audience input. Any news, posts, pride, ideas, recipes for cake and garlic bread, and pictures of cool dragons will (most likely) be accepted and reposted onto AroAce Air.

However, if you want to ask The aroace any questions, @aroace-air will not handle that. The aroace accepts asks on their main channel.

May your dashboard be filled with aro and ace shit,

---The aroace
