An oriented aroace is an aro ace who identifies with another orientation label in a nonromantic, nonsexual way. For example, oriented aro aces may identify as a bi aro ace or gay aro ace. Some oriented aro aces base their additional label on a form of nonromantic, nonsexual attraction, such as platonic attraction, sensual attraction, aesthetic attraction, alterous attraction, or any combination.
The term is controversial due to identity-policing in its origins, and angled has been created as an alternative to be more inclusive of grey-asexuals and greyromantics.[1]
