Okay, we need to talk about the whole "Yelena Belova is AroAce" thing.
This is not canon.
It is something Devin Grayson, and literally only Devin Grayson, has ever attempted to say about the character.
Why does this matter? Because if we have to take Devin Grayson's word as gospel on everything she's ever written, than her novel Inheritance (officially published by DC comics) means that Green Arrow is canonically a pedophile. In her Nightwing comics she was also fond of putting in 'easter eggs' implying Bruce/Dick or Slade/Dick. Indeed in an interview she proposed that Dick Grayson's sexuality and understanding of relationships was such a mess he tried to put the moves on Bruce.
Speaking of Nightwing, she made him part Romani, specifically because it would make him more 'exotic', and peppered the storyline where this was revealed with slurs and negative stereotypes. She also made him a serial cheater, but an unconscious one, declaring him to be too fixated on touch and too confused about relationships to understand what he's doing.
Devin Grayson is not a good person (it took her 10 years to actually admit that she'd had a villain rape Dick Grayson, insisting on calling it 'nonconsensual sex' and being 'quirky' and coy about it before 2014) and she is not a good writer, and if you're requiring me to take her saying in an interview that Yelena is asexual as gospel, you're requiring me to take a whole lot of really bad shit as gospel too.
Now, let me be 100% clear here. It is entirely fine for Yelena to be asexual. I am in no way trying to say that Devin Grayson saying Yelena is asexual is comparable to the terrible shit she did in DC Comics. And I know we desperately need more ace and aro representation in media. And yes, there probably is some aphobia in people's reactions to this talking point that seriously needs to be addressed. I bring up the Devin Grayson stuff not to try and draw a point of comparison between that horrible shit and Yelena being Ace, but to emphasize that Devin Grayson is not a writer anybody else who is writing comics or adjacent works takes seriously or considers to be canon. And to demonstrate that what a single writer says in an interview is not considered definitive about that character.
Shipping Yelena with Kate or Bob or whoever the fuck is not erasure. It's just a different headcanon.

IMAGE 1: Fan comic of Bruce Wayne, Barry Allen, and Hal Jordan in a childhood friends AU. Bruce has dark slicked back hair, bat-motif eyebrows, a grey button-down, dark slacks, and dark dress shoes. Barry has feathery blonde hair with strands behind his ears resembling wings, lightning motif eyebrows and blush, white short sleeved button-up, a blue vest and red bowtie, light blue jeans, and white winged sneakers. Hal has short fluffy brown hair, freckles and an off-center tooth gap, a pilot jacket over a green T-shirt, dark baggy jeans, and brown sneakers.
Bruce: [knee to ground, observing a feather through a magnifying glass]
Barry: [crouching, concentrated expression, nodding with finger to lip]
[vague word bubble behind them reading: *sleuth sleuth* *ramble ramble ramble* *science science* *blah blah blah*]
Hal: [head thrown back in exasperation, holding toy airplane] This is so BOOORRIIING.
IMAGE 2:
Hal: [bored frustrated expression, arms out] Can we play something else now?
Bruce [rolling eyes] and Barry [furrowed eyebrows]: [simultaneously] No.
IMAGE 3:
Hal: [shaking Barry by the shoulders] Barryyyy
Barry: [undisturbed, hands on hips still deep in concentration]
-
Barry: [unchanged pose] Hal, I already said no. Itâs not fun when youâre the only one with the plane.
Hal: [frowns]
-
Hal: [forward facing unamused expression] Hrmm.
-
Hal: [puts hand on Barryâs shoulder as if making a pitch] Well⊠who said it had to be airplanes again?
Barry: [eyes light up with curiosity] ?
IMAGE 4:
Hal: [on monkey bars, wearing a green rubber band as a ring] My power ring lets me fly, so good luck reaching me now!
Barry: [looking up at him with a pokerfaced pout]
-
Barry: [viewed from above, awkward determined smile] Uh, well, I can run so fast that it creates a tornado that pulls you back down!
-
Barry: [starts to run in a circle, tongue out of determination]
Hal: [holding on to monkey bar with one hand, pointing his âringâ at Barry with the other] Oh yeah? Then Iâll just stop you in your tracks before you can even take the next step!
-
Barry: [stops, looks up at Hal in irritation, hair swooshed back from running] What? Thatâs cheating.
IMAGE 5:
Hal: [hopping down from monkey bars] How is that cheating? You literally just used time travel, like, a second ago!
-
Barry: [counting off his fingers] But you can fly, AND use telekinesis, AND shield yourself, AND create anything, ANDâ
Hal: [throwing arms up in disbelief] Barry, you TIME TRAVEL.

Hal and Barry: [blurry foreground bickering]
Bruce: [deadpan annoyed expression] <- Chose a superhero persona w/ no powers

The day I joined the Justice League was the first time in my life I felt like I had real friends I could relate to⊠But when I talked forensics⊠I could see in their eyes that I might as well have been speaking another language. Except Bruce. We could talk about evidence for hours.â
IMAGE 7: Hal Jordan narration boxes from Legends of the DC Universe #33: âJust seeing Barry lifts my spirits. He always had a knack for doing that. I donât know if I was ever truly innocent⊠but handing out with the Flash sure made me feel that way. We were like a couple of kidsâplaying at being super-heroes. So I donât think anyoneâll mind if we play againâŠâ
