Not really irrefutable evidence, but we have seen them in bed together (2404).

--- Quote from: tassaron on 19 Apr 2013, 12:30 ---I doubt that Dora's choice of porn means anything. I think it's unlikely that Jeph would write a subplot about Dora "missing men" now that she is in a gay relationship. That scenario isn't impossible, but portraying it would help to perpetuate a common stereotype about it happening to all (or even many) bi women. Jeph would probably try to avoid doing that with his only bi character.

And I get even more confused. Then again, nobody's ever told me why Yaoi has mixed messages with women (Popular in Japan with women, completely niche and taboo in the USA).

Why are you confused? The answer is simple: the porn people watch is only tangentially related to their sexual preferences and correctly inferring anything about those preferences, or even immediate desires, from a single instance is next to impossible.
Especially in this case where we don't even know the surrounding circumstances; I get the distinct impression that most everyone has already assumed that:
A) this is Dora's laptop
B) she is alone other than Mieville
C) she actively searched for that vid, vice being sent it etc.
For all we know, Tai is asleep on the other half of the bed, that's her laptop that she brought to Dora's for some reason, and Dora just found that video in the browser history…

What "other half" of the bed...?
DSL:
I figure, viz Dora's taste in matters pornographic, de gustibus non est disputandum and leave it at that. Why should she be required to like or dislike this or that kind of diddly vids? Whatzittoya? A goil, even a pixel goil, can't be curious?
She does, however, seem to be sensitive (and not for the first time) to the (projected) opinion of one particular individual of of the species felis silvestris catus, and therein to me lies the joke of QC Two Thousand Four Hundred and Twenty Nine.
Kind of surprised, really, the fight hasn't already started over whether Dora should or should not be using a MacBook as opposed to a PC laptop. Or even a (gasp) tablet. Now there's a fight to watch. Even more fun to watch than "USS Defiant vs. Millennium Falcon: Who'd win?"
I have more parenthetical phrases and I am not afraid to use them.
EDIT: OK, here's my contribution to the overthink: We know Dora projects her opinions onto Mieville ("No, not murder. You always suggest that") so she lets the cat stand for her slight guilt feelings (because she reads the forums) about watching a guy-on-guy porn site. Not much of an overthink, I admit, but the best I have for now.
EDIT EDIT: Tai's at the foot of the bed, maybe? She is tiny, you know.

Why yes we did. What-with it outright telling us that in the top-right corner. ;)
(Or do Macs have something else there?)
