To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand The X-Files. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of classified government knowledge most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Scully's pessimistic outlook on alien life, which is deftly woven into her characterization- her personal philosophy draws heavily from Christian faith and scientific evidence, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike the X-Files truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humor in Mulder's iconic catchphrase “I want to believe” which itself is a cryptic reference to uh, aliens? I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Chris Carter’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
And yes, by the way, i DO have an X-Files tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the gentlemen, and sometimes ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own first.
