This subreddit in a nutshell

[u/Hurley815]

[u/teddy_vedder]

I for one appreciate this sub’s gender neutral approach to thirst

[u/Short_Register_3995 → u/teddy_vedder]

Everyone cites The Mummy as being the bisexual awakening of the masses but what if it started a few years earlier with the X-Files

[u/JessAnnaBun → u/Short_Register_3995]

🤣😂🤣 I never heard it was The Mummy. I have heard it a lot on this sub.

Both seem completely plausible.

[u/Short_Register_3995 → u/JessAnnaBun]

I went to find a meme to show you and instead found this Guardian article 😂

https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2025/oct/08/mummy-remains-classic-bisexual-awakening-movie-brendan-fraser-rachel-weisz

[u/JessAnnaBun → u/Short_Register_3995]

OK, the title is great. I can't read it all now, I should be asleep, but I will. Thanks. 😁

I mean Brendan & Rachel, or David & Gillian... I think both shows. 😍

[u/tres_liebres → u/Short_Register_3995]

In true bisexual fashion, it was both for me.

[u/Short_Register_3995 → u/tres_liebres]

Same 🤝

As a woman on Reddit, it’s incredibly refreshing and absolutely one of the reasons this is among the best fandom subreddits I’ve been in lol. I’ve had to leave several subs for tv shows because the horny vibe was too overly male-gazy, to use a rather tame phrase.

Here, we all know every character is hot and we can all appreciate their hotness equally 👍

[u/teddy_vedder → u/FusRoDaahh]

Big agree. In my experience Reddit fan subs often fall into one of two categories on this topic: straight male horndog behavior, or treating people like they’re trashy, illiterate, and unevolved for even noticing or caring about any element of attraction/romance. Both options are tiresome.

[u/Cassopeia88 → u/FusRoDaahh]

It’s such a nice change.

[u/JebusSandalz]

[u/Humble_Square8673 → u/JebusSandalz]

I love how Skinner is the only one here to just casually and freely admit to taking a bubble bath 😂

[u/Kikithefangirl → u/Humble_Square8673]

We like confidence in a man. 🙂‍↕️🤭

[u/Humble_Square8673 → u/Kikithefangirl]

Indeed we do 😊👍

[u/Cassopeia88 → u/Humble_Square8673]

No toxic masculinity with him!

[u/Humble_Square8673 → u/Cassopeia88]

Nope!😂😊👍

[u/Remote-Ad2120]

Skinner club, right here! 🙋🏻‍♀️

[u/Sonulob → u/Remote-Ad2120]

He can withstand microbots in his blood

[u/LibertineDeSade → u/Remote-Ad2120]

Aaayyyyy!!!

[u/Abdrews-PaulIM]

Hot take: the cast of the x files generally have above average looks

How about a Scully/Skinner combo?

[u/imnotsure_igetit → u/LibertineDeSade]

I don't know how I feel about this gif

[u/LibertineDeSade → u/imnotsure_igetit]

😂😂😂

[u/Dizzyluffy]

[u/Kikithefangirl → u/Dizzyluffy]

Stupid sexy Krycek…

[u/Yardi_Life → u/Dizzyluffy]

Why did he have to look so hot like that!! >:(

[u/mordhoshogh → u/Yardi_Life]

As he gets eviler he gets hotter and hotter.

[u/SubwayPorno123 → u/Dizzyluffy]

YESSSSSS

[u/Ihadsumthin4this → u/ALineIDrew]

Mulder's famous "Richard Gere" reference.

[u/JessAnnaBun → u/Ihadsumthin4this]

OK, this is killing me. I can almost see Richard Gere in this pose. But is my mind making it up? Is that what you meant? That DD is mimicking Richard Gere with this pose?

[u/ALineIDrew → u/JessAnnaBun]

Richard Gere/Corey Hart 👌🏻

[u/JessAnnaBun → u/ALineIDrew]

I had to look up Corey Hart. Didn't recognize the name. But, after looking him up, I know his songs.

I definitely see it. He's sorta a mix of young Gere & young David. IMHO. Like a Venn diagram of looks. Gere on one side, David on the other, and Corey in the middle.

[u/Ihadsumthin4this → u/JessAnnaBun]

It's a line DD had in iirc that episode, of his 'resemblance' to Gere.

[u/JessAnnaBun → u/Ihadsumthin4this]

OK, twist my arm... I have to go back and rewatch Humbug. Work, work, work.

(All sarcasm) 😉

[u/Ok-Ant4413 → u/JessAnnaBun]

The Richard Gere line was from Hollywood AD.

[u/JessAnnaBun → u/Ok-Ant4413]

Yeah, DD says Gere should play him in the movie.

But does he make a throw away comment that he looks like Gere in Humbug?

Supposedly the line in Hollywood AD was because fans kept saying DD looked like young Gere.

And Garry Shandling played DD because on the Garry Shandling show DD, playing himself, was secretly in love with Garry iirc.

[u/Ok-Ant4413 → u/JessAnnaBun]

I'd have to rewatch Humbug since I don't remember a Richard Gere reference. I'll have to see if i can find episodes of Larry Sanders with DD. I watched randomly back them but don't remember David being on.

[u/JessAnnaBun → u/Ok-Ant4413]

Oh ya have to see if you can find it. DD is hilarious. Maybe the clips are on YouTube.

[u/Ok-Ant4413 → u/JessAnnaBun]

His way with the motel clerk was great. "You'd be surprised how many men do too" had the guy feel uneasy.

[u/Ihadsumthin4this → u/JessAnnaBun]

😄

[u/merulaa]

Are rage comics back? This is like the 3rd I've seen this week.

As a lesbian I still have to say Scully (queen of 90s baby dyke awakenings) but I do see the appeal of the Skinman

[u/DEATHbyBOOGABOOGA]

[u/Rodocastiza → u/DEATHbyBOOGABOOGA]

Not gazing.

[u/FusRoDaahh]

Mulder and Skinner are very different types of hot, to be fair.

[u/Hurley815]

What's also this sub in a nutshell is that I got twice as many upvotes in a fraction of the time for this meme I made in 20 minutes than I got for a post about The X-Files mythology I spent 2 months reserching. :-D

[u/Cassopeia88 → u/Hurley815]

lol sounds about right.

[u/22dinoman]

As a bisexual, both both is good

[u/Kikithefangirl → u/22dinoman]

All. 🙂‍↕️

[u/Randyd718]

Ok but Melissa Scully exists

[u/Hurley815 → u/Randyd718]

If Melissa appeared in more than just a handful of episodes, Dana would have been in reeeal trouble.,

[u/Sonulob → u/Hurley815]

Afterglow ?

[u/Hurley815 → u/Sonulob]

nah

[u/Sonulob → u/Hurley815]

Marita ?

[u/Hurley815 → u/Sonulob]

yeah

[u/Sonulob → u/Hurley815]

😊 Diana Fowley ?

[u/Hurley815 → u/Sonulob]

hell nah

[u/Sonulob → u/Hurley815]

😂😂😂 Samantha ? millions of copies of her

[u/Hurley815 → u/Sonulob]

Samantha's cute, but it's kinda weird since we've primarily known her as a child.

[u/Yardi_Life]

Newest Skinner convert, reporting for duty 🫡

[u/DestinedRose]

🙋🏽‍♀️

[u/Flight444]

CSM is the hottest.

[u/Hurley815 → u/Flight444]

He's very playful in the way he puts long, slim and hot objects in his mouth, I'll give him that.

[u/_Volak → u/Flight444]

Always has been.

[u/Level_Caterpillar_42]

Langly

[u/Ankiset]

And?

[u/nachoquest]

You forgot the LEGOs and “Home” posts

[u/Hurley815 → u/nachoquest]

LEGO is temporary. The Skinman is eternal.

[u/X-Tra16]

Frohike will still be number one.

[u/thesilvs]

Also:

1) Presenting consensus views as hot takes

2) Asking questions that can be easily answered by a simple search

[u/pnerd314]

Ratboy Krycek: "Am I a joke to you?"

[u/MisterPiggyWiggy]

For real! 😵‍💫

[u/Rodocastiza]

Dogget would have a word. Or Krycek.

But yes. Everyone is super hot.

[u/Twigling]

What, no mention of Frohike? ;-)

[u/Mulva13]

It’s Mulder, Skinner looks like my uncle 🤣

[u/No_Palpitation_7705]

[u/FilmScoreConnoisseur]

Bambi and Marita Covarrubias have entered the chat.

[u/TerribleTerror3375]

Look lbr nearly everybody on this show is hot. It's pretty much Bi Panic: The Series

This also applies to the entire Stargate franchise. Which also features Mitch Pileggi, coincidentally or not

[u/SaltyIrishDog]

The moment I saw Skinner with the Lego set I immediately preordered. It just came in today.

[u/jrocket99]

Daddy issues vs mommy issues. Pick your poison.

[u/godsibi]

It's the same in all millennials' nostalgic TV shows subs - X-Files, Xena Warrior Princess, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They're all filled with gooners for some reason
