I like Tralina

[Rellapse40]

I don't know Tralina very well. I don't use mumble and I'm not in those video chats, so I only chat with her once in a while and see her posts on the forums. My favorite post from her was when she posted a picture of herself wickedly hungover and talked about $8 vodka and someone went off about women who think they deserve to have guys buy them $10 drinks all night and she corrected him that the BOTTLE was $8.

I think she's a pretty nice girl. She always seems to be pretty nice to everyone, even people who are quite mean to her. She's always been nice to me in our limited interaction and she didn't seem to be gossipy or manipulative or anything else negative.

Many of you seem to think that knowing Tralina or knowing something about her gives you the right to treat her as your metaphorical punching bag. You seem to like to attack her appearance, probably because you know that American women are typically very insecure about appearance. I think that reflects much worse on you than it does on Tralina. I don't recall her ever responding that any of you don't make enough money, or have an impressive resume or drive an expensive car, the things that American men are typically insecure about.

In the place and time where I grew up, we were taught to treat women with respect. Maybe that's changed now or maybe some of you just have really awful manners. I'm sure some of you are already getting ready to talk about how I'm just another desperate and lonely gamer geek trying to get into Tralina's undergarments. Well, I am kind of a lonely gamer geek sometimes, but I live far away from her and I'm probably twice her age, so the chances of us ever meeting are somewhere between minuscule and none at all. I just don't think the way many of you talk about her is appropriate at all and someone should call you out for it and it might as well be me.

Tralina, I hope the things some of these guys say about you don't affect the way you think about yourself. I don't agree with them at all. I think you're a pretty nice girl.
