EDIT: This meme is not about aroace people who are sex/date favorable. It's about the people who are constantly using "aroace can still date/have sex" to erase the representation of aroaces that don't feel that way. I don't believe romance/sex repulsed aroaces are better or "superior" to those who are.

Just a reminder to all the new Murderbot fans who found it through the tv show (and have a temptation to ship it with people), this is a good summary of its opinion of sex:

[flemlem]

I think what gets me so so much about ART's infamous "You know I am not kind." is that it is, to me, as much of a lie as anything Murderbot says about itself or other SecUnits. It's ART's own unreliable narration.

Because ART is actually fully capable of being kind, especially towards its humans and in its own way, towards Murderbot. Niceness does not equate to kindness - it is not nice, but in many cases, it is kind. It will automatically put on the Sanctuary Moon soundtrack for Murderbot when it understands its distressed. It apologizes to Murderbot when they first meet for scaring it. It repaired and cleaned Murderbot's code and put on a show for it in the meantime. It is caring towards Iris, towards Amena, towards especially the young humans within its hull.

But to it, I think it has learned that being violent and 'assholeish' is how it keeps its crew safe. It was not born into violence, it had to modify its systems to create weapons to protect the people it loves. Every bot it comes across it's prepared to kill because every bot is a potential eye of the Corporation Rim. It dons the title of "Asshole Research Transport" proudly, and declares "I am not kind," because that is what it thinks will beat the insurmountable obstacle of the CR targeting its loved ones.

But ultimately, it's a facade, a mask. I believe it has a vast capability for kindness, even though it hides that part so well.

Going into the Murderbot subreddit and seeing multiple people saying "ART is definitely female"

Murderbot, a construct that was built and used to do extreme violence it's entire existence : I hate talking to people but I will try to resolve this situation peacefully if I can, threats only make people panic and then they take irrational decisions. Extreme violence is sometimes unavoidable but last resort.

ART, a peaceful research transportation : I love talking to people because I can threaten them with extreme violence right off the bat and it makes them do what I want (ads more totally-not-weapons to it's research equipment)

Murderbot show was worth making at the very least because of that part where the secunit tossed murderbot on the table and it subsequently rolled off the other side
