And tulpa is established, it's an english-ified term, it's got a little icon, lots of people know the name already. Any other name will just become akin to daemonism, a new branch of "tulpa-like" things.
Ahh, you might find more success with that, but you're going to have to deal with people like me. Change does not come easy, and even if I resolved to not doing so, I'd probably be back to saying tulpamancy within a week.
And, honestly, I do feel that the more we focus on changing others, the less successful and happy we will be. I have to teach that lesson to myself again and again and again, but I find things a lot better when I start focusing just on being here to talk to people rather than with some grand ambition.
Truth comes through distributed decision making. The community at large is incredibly intelligent, and responds to pressures and effects far wider and scope than you or I are aware of. It should be left to behave naturally, and the only source from which the community should ever change is through the community coming to agreement as a whole over time.
It comes across as well, in saying that the admins ought to ban or restrict speech or the use of some terms in order to encourage the use of other terms. I do not support that idea at all, but I would be happy if instead it came about because some subsection of the community just started using terms on their own and change derived from there.
Any action from a position of authority of that form, I feel, is a gross misuse of that authority.

There may be some exceptions, but I'm skeptical of it in general

If you want to see a great example of change inspired by just one person, look to the user falunel, who almost singlehandedly, in my belief, changed the tone and ideals of the subreddit by just being overall friendly and making their points from a place of good faith and belief over time.
Reddit is very much the same. We are all, the common regular users, those who set the tone of every discussion. Our positivity, or negativity, our tone and inflection and mannerisms, infect the chat way longer than we can imagine or realize. Effect way more people than we realize.
