oriented aro coining
so, as someone who personally vibes with this and has gotten SO many questions about if it's a Thing, I've decided, fuck it, yeah, it is a thing.
let's coin oriented aromanticism.
oriented aros are similar to oriented aroaces, but it's a term for aro folks who fall under the non-SAM / "just aro" umbrellas; we are aromantic, and experience some type of attraction which we'd like to label or describe, and often cannot or prefer not to label further (ie, specifying the type of attraction).
aroqueer, already an established term, would be one such example.
I'm not sure how best to write the subidentities - given the precedent set by aroqueer and the tendency for allo aro identities to be written as "lesbian aro" rather than "arolesbian", for example, I think we could potentially write it that way.
