Normally, I don't respond to your kind of bullshit or the other mindless Barbie shipper/Duchovbot bullshit I've had to endure, but I couldn't let this pass.

Renewed for a ninth season? sobbed the Barbie shipperdom! They clutched their Barbie hearts and smacked their cherry Bubbleyum, But what a Barbie shipper wants, they said, a Barbie shipper gets, And they took a Barbie oath against the scribes of Doggett fics.

CC's gamble to have 'Mulder the Absent Center' may have appeased a few barbie shipper types but it also drove off a lot of the fanbase as well.

There was a big deal about SCULLY'S CHASTITY = DEVOTION TO MULDER during the heyday of the Shipper versus Noromo wars. That "Barbie Shippers" faction of XF fandom is currently cloistering itself somewhere in really dreadful, schmoopy fanfic where no other character threatens the purity of their "deep, abiding luv".
