“You know Mulder and Scully love each other.  That’s kind of obvious if you’ve been a fan of the show. They have a  very intense relationship that’s based on mutual shared passions. The  natural extension of that would be a romantic relationship.” -Chris Carter

I object to ‘natural extension’ = ‘romantic relationship’. While I do actively ship them, I can see the case for asexual romantic as well.
I anti-shipped them, not because I didn’t love their relationship or how much they meant to each other, but because I desperately want more stories about deep, meaningful male-female friendships like that where the relationship isn’t automatically turned into yet another romance. I’m not talking about the “woman and her gay friend” stereotype either. 
Since Mulder and Scully got together, and even Modesty and Willie to my everlasting chagrin did end up being written as having suppressed “feelings” for each other, then off the top of my head I can only think of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. And still he always liked Ron better. :/
Oh, Mal and Zoe from Firefly, there’s a good one!
Okay, new life goal: Write a novel or a graphic novel with a deeply meaningful male-female friendship that does not turn into a romance. The reader would be so confused! It would be great.  

I *hated* when Mulder and Scully got involved sexually/romantically for that reason. :(

I was so disappointed. 
Remember that episode where it turns out that in a past life Scully and Mulder had been soldiers together and they had a meaningful friendship back then, too? And there was this other chick who was Mulder’s Eternal Lover Forever in that past life. And then there was the time Scully shows up with a thermos and he says something like, if that’s coffee I may have to marry you, and she says it’s root beer. I always dreaded they’d end up together, but that sort of thing kept me thinking that maybe, maybe THIS time they wouldn’t. 
Oh well. Not to rain on the parade of all those shippers who no doubt outnumber old curmudgeons like us by the thousand.
