So... is the logic here that it's okay to age up to ship as long as no one in the ship is having sex? I'm not trying to start wank, I just don't understand.

Does the sex have to be shown on page to be considered sexualizing the character? Like, OP says an older Misty as a top would be interesting. So, with your caveat, does that mean there's a different connotation to writing her in a non-smutty BDSM lifestyle fic where the focus is on how she's a full-time dom for her partner? Or is it that aging her up and saying "as an adult she would probably, like the majority of people, be a sexual being, and I wonder how her personality/experiences would influence that" has a different connotation than saying "if there were no Pokemon and this was a space opera/coffee shop/historical AU, what kind of woman would she be?" Is it really that different to age up if you pair it with an ace headcanon, as opposed to any other sexual orientation?

I have so many questions about why this has become a thing that people need to keep secret, instead of a writing challenge to see how well you grasp a character and how believably you can craft a scene.
