Line 3:
Oriented aroace individuals identify with another orientation label, but in a non[[romantic]], non[[sexual]] way. For example, oriented aroaces may identify as a [[bi]] aroace/bi oriented aroace or [[gay]] aroace/gay oriented aroace. This additional label can be based on any form of non-romantic, non-sexual [[attraction]], such as [[platonic attraction]], [[sensual attraction]], [[aesthetic attraction]], [[alterous attraction]], [[queerplatonic attraction]], etc. or a combination of these.

The term oriented aroace is used to refer to those who are [[suptilic|strictly]] aromantic and asexual. [[Angled aroace]] was created for those who are not strictly aromantic and/or asexual but are still aro-spec and ace-spec, such as [[greyasexual]]s, [[demisexuals]], [[greyromantic]]s, [[demiromantic]]s, and other [[aro-spec]] and [[ace-spec]] identities.
==Flag==
The flag was designed by Tumblr user Biaroace on July 11, 2018.<ref>[https://biaroace.tumblr.com/post/175789820577/oriented-aroace-flag-this-flag-is-meant-to Oriented Aro Ace Flag]</ref> 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.

On January 2, 2023, Tumblr user your-blorbos-are-queer posted eight flags<ref>[https://at.tumblr.com/your-blorbos-are-queer/i-made-some-pride-flags/es8w49vg3xoj Aroace Orientation Flags Coining]</ref>, each one representing a different type of oriented aroace. The eight flags are for Sapphic-, Achillean-, Lesbian-, Vincian-, Bi-, Pan-, Poly-, and Hetero-Oriented Aroaces. Each flag was created by mixing the colors of corresponding stripes on the aroace flag and the flag of that orientation.▼

On January 3, 2023, in response to the original creator's request for a more aesthetically-pleasing version of the Hetero-Oriented flag, Tumblr user crystallinewalker created a second Hetero- flag with lightened colors<ref>[https://at.tumblr.com/crystallinewalker/i-made-the-hetero-one-more-aesthetically-pleasing/aw6ixp85j1ph Second Hetero- Flag Coining]</ref> in order to make the design more cohesive.
