[PT: Quoiromantic (or WTFromantic). End PT.]

Quoiromantic: When one does not understand or actively disidentifies with romance, romantic attraction, or romantic orientations as personally sensible or applicable, or feeling like they are inaccessible or nonsensical.

Inspired by the more common quoiromantic flag (link).

Anyone can use flag anywhere idc

Quoiromantic

Type: Sexuality

Definition: Quoiromantic, pronounced like the French word for what, is a label with multiple meanings. It can be used by those who are unsure what romantic attraction is or feels like and so are unsure about if they feel it or not, by those who find the concept of romance or romantic attraction to be inaccessible to them, not applicable to them, or that it's nonsense, those who can't understand the concept or feeling of romantic attraction, those who disconnect themself from romantic attraction entirely, those who question their romantic identity for so long that questioning has become their identity, those who have questioned so long that it's frustrating and so use it to express said frustration, and by those who have trouble finding the difference between romantic attraction and other forms of attraction. It is a part of the Aromantic spectrum though not everyone who uses this label considers themself to be Aromantic in any way. Those who are Quoiromantic may use other identities as well. Those who are Quoiromantic are not always Quoisexual.

Flag(s):

This is a Quoisexual and Quoiromantic flag made by chaotic-evil-gender in 2014. We don't know the meaning of the colors.

This is an alternate Quoisexual and Quoiromantic flag, made by chaotic-evil-gender in 2015. In order the colors mean:

Asexuality and Aromanticism

Harmony between the types of attraction

Emotions

Confusion and fuzziness about attraction

This is a flag made for all Quoi identities in 2015 by epochryphal. The question marks are used to represent the questioning nature of the identity and questioning the more common understanding of experience, as well as refusing to answer when asked about ones identity. The shape was chosen to be non-rectangular to represent the discomfort from or the rejection of models. The color of both the background and the question marks is meant to show how subjective the perception of the colors is, due to the color looking both grey and purple, relate it to other grey identities, and to relate it to the color lavender, which has been used to represent queerness for a long time. The creator has stated they wish they had used 3 question marks instead of 4.

This is another flag for all Quoi identities, made in May 2019 by queer-buccaneers. It was made with epochryphal's design in mind, keeping the same colors and the non-rectangular shape, though a version that would be easier to produce. The question marks have been changed to 3 instead of 4, due to it being easily mistaken for a few unsavory symbols.

Quoiflaugender: A gender which is weak or which one feels weakly, thus being confusing, undescribable, nonsensical, inaccessible, or inapplicable to oneself

A combination of quoigender and flaugender, just put together really quickly because think would be useful, as was trying help friend find applicable term and remembered flaugender exists. Possible warning for eye-strain on flaugender post

Every row ends with slip stitching to close and then chaining two to start the next one but I Forgot to put that in.

Pro tip: Have more rows of the same color towards the top than at the bottom if it's only going to show up once, otherwise it will get drowned out.

[ID: A black and white diagram of a beanie separated into eighteen stripes, with arrows on each section giving the instructions to crochet it. Stripe 1, at the top center of the hat: "Ch3, double crochet 8 times into first chain. Slip stitch to close (S S T C)." An arrow points from this to a simple diagram of three circles representing chain stitches, with a hook at the top with a loop of yarn around it, and another arrow pointing from the hook down to the first chain. The chains are colored in with teal circles. Next to the instructions is a teal circle with eight sections in it. Stripe 2: "DC 2 times in each stitch. S S TC." In teal below this are two V shapes to indicate two stitches into the same spot. Stripe 3: Dc 1 time, then two times, repeating". In teal is a straight line and a V. Stripe 4: DC 1, 1, 2, repeating. The teal shows two straight lines, then a V. Stripe 5: DC 1, 1, 1, 2, repeating. The teal has three lines and then a V. Stripe 6: DC 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, repeating. The teal shows four lines and then a V. Stripe 8 through 18: DC one time, repeating, until hat is desired length. The teal now only shows straight lines, and an arrow points all the way to the bottom of the hat. End ID.]

some quickly thrown together pride flag templates from whatever colors I happened to have on my phone:

[ID: 12 versions of the same image as above, the same except that text has been added on the side reading, "18 row example. 5mm hook, size 4 yarn.", and each hat is now colored in stripes of a differen pride flag, in vaguely alphabetical order. The first is the asexual flag, with the first 6 stripes in black, the next 4 in grey, the next 4 in white, then the last 4 in purple. Then the aromantic flag, with the first 5 stripes in dark green, then the next 4 in light green, then the next 3 in white, the next 3 in grey, and the final 3 in black. Next is the aroace flag, with the first 5 stripes in orange, the next 4 in yellow, the next 3 in white, 3 light blue, and 3 navy blue. Then the bi flag, with the first 9 stripes in dark blue, then 5 in purple, then the last 4 in reddishpink. Next is the intersex flag, with the first 7 stripes in gold, then 3 dark purple, then the remaining stripes in gold. Next is the lesbian flag with the first 4 stripes in reddishpink, then 4 light pink, 4 pale yellow, 3 light purple, and 3 very dark blue. Next is the nonbinary flag, with 5 stripes of yellow, 4 stripes of white, 5 stripes of purple, and 4 stripes of black. Next is the pan flag, with 6 stripes of bubblegum pink, 6 stripes of gold, and 5 stripes of light blue. Next is the quoiromantic flag, with 6 stripes of black, 4 stripes of lime green, 4 stripes of light blue, and 4 stripes of light grey. Next is the pride flag, with 3 stripes each of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Next is the progress trans flag, with 5 stripes of purple, 3 stripes of black, 2 stripes of blue, 2 stripes of pink, 2 stripes of white, 2 stripes of yellow, and 2 stripes of brown. The last is the pastel xenogender flag, with 4 stripes of pinkishred, 2 stripes of pastel pink, 3 stripes of pastel orange, 2 stripes of pale yellow, 2 stripes of light blue, 2 stripes of light purple, and 3 stripes of dark purple. End ID.]

pride flags with fewer shades of the same color are easier to make. A lesson for flag makers everywhere. Good luck trying to find all the shades necessary to make the pastel xenogender flag. I have yet to accomplish it. This is also why gradient flags are just. a bad idea if you want people to actually be able to make it outside of computers.
