An '''oriented aroace''' is an [[aromantic]] [[asexual]] ([[Aroace|aroace]]) person who experiences a form of attraction that is neither romantic nor sexual, but is significant enough to warrant a place alongside their aroace orientation. They will identify with another orientation label in a nonromantic, nonsexual way. For example, oriented aroaces may identify as a [[Bisexual|bi]] aroace or [[gay]] aroace. Some oriented aroaces base their additional label on a form of nonromantic, nonsexual [[attraction]], such as [[Platonic Attraction|platonic attraction]], [[Sensual Attraction|sensual attraction]], [[Aesthetic Attraction|aesthetic attraction]], [[Alterous Attraction|alterous attraction]], or any combination of these. |

An oriented aroace is an aromantic asexual (aroace) person who experiences a different form of attraction that is neither romantic nor sexual, but is significant enough to warrant a place alongside their aroace orientation. They will identify with another orientation label in a nonromantic, nonsexual way. For example, oriented aroaces may identify as a bi aroace or gay aroace. Some oriented aroaces base their additional label on a form of nonromantic, nonsexual attraction, such as platonic attraction, sensual attraction, aesthetic attraction, alterous attraction, or any combination of these.
The term is controversial due to identity-policing in its origins, and angled aroace has been created as an alternative to be more inclusive of greyasexuals, demisexuals, greyromantics, demiromantics, and other aro-spec and ace-spec identities.[1]
Flag
The flag was designed by Tumblr user Biaroace on July 11, 2018.[2] It features four horizontal stripes, similar in design to the asexual flag. The dark blue stripe at the top represents aroaces, grey for affiliation with the wider aro-spec and ace-spec communities, white for the orientation apart from aro and ace, and teal green for nonromantic, nonsexual attraction.
