one day I’m gonna do a writeup on use of violence in the x files because it fascinates me that the violence is kinda gendered (between scully and mulder, I can’t really speak on all the side characters). scully is allowed to get parasites and worms under her skin and covered in alien slime and other supernatural forms of harm while, of the two, only mulder can get hit, slapped, kicked, beaten, shot, etc
reminds me a bit of how in vince gilligan shows, women go through severe emotional tolls and only men really receive lasting physical injury
I understand that the show has long been over but, for feminism, let dana scully get shot by a gun
