I'm wondering if the fandom is X-Files? :)

I'm not even ardently anti Mulder/Scully but recently got into a discussion with someone online who kept attacking me for not immediately stating they should be together after "everything they've been through". My argument was they already are in a strong relationship and from that pov it doesn't matter particularly to me if they add romance to it. (Again, I think they do have chemistry and make a cute couple. I just don't build my entire enjoyment of the series over whether they become one).

I agree, OP. Every time a man and woman are on screen together it seems, they ultimately get together. However, oftentimes the same isn't true of two men (or two women) despite having the same markers as fictional het couples of "being in love".

The double standards irritates me. For example, take Dean and Castiel from Supernatural. As slash shippers state, had they been a man and woman, they would have been together. However, whenever this is pointed out, non-shippers always say "why can't two men just be friends?" (Because whenever it's a man and woman, they are never allowed to "just be friends" and are always eventually placed together.)

So men and women can't "Just be friends" but same sex main characters are rarely together at the end, despite slash shippers seeing every hint of them wanting to be a couple. I'm not saying two male characters can't be "just friends" or that main male/female characters don't become romantic. It would be nice to have some variety, ocassionally.

This. If Steve had stolen a plane to go AWOL to sneak into enemy territory to free POWs single-handedly all with the explicit and only intention to rescue girl!Bucky? Bucky would have been pregnant by the end of the first movie.

I absolutely agree

Bucky Barnes, damsel in distress. And idc what anyone says, The Winter Soldier is an action-romance movie.
