Ah, the age-old fandom divide! I'm mostly a femslasher which made being in X-Files fandom back in the day quite tricky so not being into shipping (i.e. Mulder/Scully, that's where the term comes from) caught a lot of accusations of hating Scully or (less often) hating Mulder. But I didn't! I loved their intense bond! I just didn't want it to be a romantic relationship.

I think this divide was worst in Star Trek AOS fandom, where the big divide was between Spock/Uhura shippers and Kirk/Spock shippers. One side accused the other of being misogynist and racist (which was only occasionally true) and the other side accused their rival ship of being homophobic (which was only occasionally true).

Mulder and Scully is the ultimate example of this for me. I loved their bond and their friendship, and absolutely hated their romance. And I do like some friends-to-lovers tropes! Just that one didn't feel right to me at all.
