== History ==
The term angled aroace is similar to [[Oriented Aroace|oriented aroace]] (which only indicates [[aroace]] with tertiary attraction), and it was created by Tumblr user Black-Aros on March 24, 2019, in response to claims that oriented aroace is only for strictly [[aromantic]] [[asexual]]s.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://official-angledaroace.tumblr.com/post/183794178226/angled Angled}}]</ref><ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://theacetheist.wordpress.com/2019/08/04/oriented-gray/ Oriented Gray}}]</ref>
== Flags ==
The angled aroace flag was posted by Black-Aros on March 24, 2019, shortly after announcing the term.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://official-angledaroace.tumblr.com/post/183794179751/black-aros-angled-flag-if-you-read-the-tags-in Angled Flag}}]</ref> The yellow stripes were chosen as an opposite of the blue of the oriented flag. The light brown gradient beneath them meant as a visually-appropriate parallel to the gray gradient of the [[aromantic]] and [[asexual]] flags.
The five-stripe redesign was created by an anonymous Wiki user on October 1, 2020. It was designed to mimic the original flag, as to stay true to the symbolism and original meaning, while also making it easier on the eyes. It is also meant to be easier to distinguish between colors.
An alternate flag was created by an unknown user on or before March 11, 2021.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Angled-Aroace-3-872880145 Alternate Flag}}]</ref>
The black, purple, green, and rainbow redesign was created by Instagram user enbysapphics on July 12, 2021.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.instagram.com/p/CRPVeKQLdtP/ Another Alternate Flag}}]</ref> The black represents lack of attraction, the purples represent the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual spectrum]], the greens represent the [[Aromantic Spectrum|aromantic spectrum]], and the middle rainbow stripe represents attraction towards genders that is separate from one's ace-spec/aro-spec identity.
