Fluffy Dragon:
If Dora were to still have the same crippling insecurities as she used to... then at this point, she wouldn't be angry with Allie, she would be taking her insecurities out on Tai... like she used to do with Marten.
edit for further thoughts:
My initial impression of Allie is not exactly positive.
I interpreted the smirk to mean: "I've seen Tai with a lot of fuckbuddies. she sleeps around. a lot. this wont last, but good luck."
and I think if Tai and Dora had started having sex, we'd have seen a dance or two.
they're sleeping together, probably making out too... (which explains the "you haven't been bringing your A-game already?")

--- Quote from: Barmymoo on 18 Nov 2013, 11:04 ---Friends are supportive and caring but they aren't required to sit down and talk out every single issue every time it comes up. A therapist's sole job is to help someone talk though the things which are problems for them, and be an uninvolved sounding board. Tai's role is much more complicated and she's got legitimate self-interest. And really, is it a bad thing that she's navigated the conversation into a place where Dora can feel confident in Tai's feelings for her, and where the mood is light and positive, instead of dwelling on negatives and possibly getting into an argument which would make Dora's issues worse?
I've been put in the position of trying to be a therapist for a friend who would, in other circumstances, have been a lover, and it destroyed our relationship.

A good friend knows when to be your therapist and when to belt you upside the head and say "yo, you nuts bro." Tai stepped up this time. If this continues she may full well decide to put her foot down. It's still too early to tell -- we got a couple of days before Das Cliffhanger. ;)
Shjade:
The obvious answer, of course, is that Tai's bedroom skills are going to purge Dora of her insecurities. Manually.
...okay, but being srs, someone brought up that if this situation happened with Dora & Marten, we'd probably be in a Fight Strip now, whereas with Tai this did not happen. I suspect this is more to do with the differences between Marten and Tai than with Dora's personal growth (though that is very likely also a factor): when Dora did her insecure thing with Marten, he tended to blow it off and/or get defensive about it in a "why can't you trust me" kind of way; Tai appears to lack this defensiveness, which means she isn't providing any fuel to Dora's fire and thus lead to a real fight. I don't know that I'd say this is because Tai's either a genius or an idiot, it's just who she is. Different values, different person.

That one was also unacceptable in itself, which is why I've removed it.

Why was it unacceptable? Tai has made similar comments herself. All considered, I'd be far more surprised if Tai is NOT into fisting, and at the very least it was a 'joke' fitting with the character and context of the current strip.
pwhodges:
The way it was expressed was cruder than what I consider acceptable here; the presentation as an image macro emphasised this. I've commented in the past that if the characters were on this forum they'd get moderated at times (Yelling Bird would be banned instantly, and Pintsize not long behind him), so the character twitters cannot be taken as a guide to the forum.
