Examples

“Being a hard-core "noromo" (parlance for "no romancer," someone who believes the show's UST, or unresolved sexual tension, is the key to its vitality), I have also flamed "shippers" ("relationshippers," those who want Mulder and Scully to get it on in the film) with now embarrassing vituperations, such as, "Why don't you just go get the lame job you're destined for at the state budget office?"”
“There had always been a separation between the noromos and the shippers, but at the start of the eighth season, another significant division was born.”
“Once it became generally accepted that Mulder and Scully were romantically involved off screen, the noromos stopped watching in disgust, while the shippers lamented not being allowed to witness the transition in the relationship.”
“The former, called "Shippers" (i.e. those who seek a love relationship depicted), are opposed by "NoRomos," who do not want romance to take over the series.”
“Viewers also spent years trying to decipher whether there was a romantic attraction between the duo. Among the growing number of internet fan bases devoted to the relationship, subgroups of "relationshippers" and "NoRomos" emerged.”
“But there's some unrest among the two major types of X-Philes: The 'Shippers, who care most about the romantic relationship between Mulder and Scully, and the NoRomos, who care more about the murky mythology of the show.”
