I mean, you can make character tulpas, just don't expect them to want to be/always be like their source material.

We have OC-headmates, most of them changed their identity and are now no longer recognizable when compared to their source character.

Not all of them liked to be based on OC's, either, especially those who were given more traumatic backstories and related to them emotinally.

It's possible to make OC's into tulpas, and not inherently a horrible idea, but you'll have to be aware of several factors, and you'll probably want to try your best to minimize the amount of stressors in their backstories, if you plan to make them heavily associate with said identity.
You can make very lifelike OCs without making them tulpas too
Unless you want a headmate who's like, "Yeah this is my character and no I'm not going to listen to you". I make the decisions now(edited)

Sometimes you make a character. Sometimes a character reaches out from the collective consciousness and clutches you by the throat and you have no choice but to give them a name
I stopped writing and roleplaying a long time ago and it was attached to learning about tulpamancy but it wasn't out of the fear that id accidentally make more tulpas
Maybe some historical philosopher or scientist or something for more metaphysical people to try and take knowledge from

No idea. I thought I remembered someone with a Greek or Roman tulpa, not sure if they were based on a real philosopher, or if they were just some random Greco-Roman guy.

Never say never. I absolutely can believe some edgelord would make a hitler tulpa just cuz
I have heard of many a Hitler headmate, but their purposes are either for trolling (and probably never actually developed) or because a disordered system has problems

I always found the concept of being obsessed with real people celebrities to be super strange

I don’t get the appeal

… then again I have been super invested in YouTubers. But it’s almost always because they are acting out a character so I guess I’m obsessing over their OC lol
I agree making a tulpa off of a YouTuber or even a celebrity is less weird because they're putting forward a persona that's a character rather than who they are as themselves. A historical figure tulpa would more likely tap into that based on who they are as a person thing and that would be weird
A tulpa off of another tulpa is weird because tulpas aren't doing that public persona thing(edited)
I feel weird meeting a tulpa based off of the same popular characters that’s in my system and those are just well known characters I have zero right to, so I’d very very bothered if someone very specifically tried to make a tulpa based off of anyone in my system.
It's racist because a black headmate in a white system is like blackface on a whole new level. This headmate would never have to deal with actual racism because their body is white and by being a "black headmate" they would be inclined to "act black" and ask for "black privileges"

There is a difference between acting black and having a form that just happens to be black ♂️

i remember how i got banned on one of the did servers for using "japanese" emojis while not being japanese
yes it was a did server
yes did servers are as unhealthy and unstable as i keep telling you
Like, if you're conscious that being an introject of a person of color character isn't the same as being a bodily minority, and that you really aren't as able to make the same comments or actions as a bodily minority, then it's not inherently a harmful practice.
Like, I'm fine with a headmate who appears black, but is in a white body, but if that headmate uses language specifically reclaimed by black people, its....ehhhh
If I had a black character that accidentally became a tulpa like the others in my system I would not be able to get them to willingly change their form
Granted that race us based heavily upon real world minority groups as a result of the author's world building, but he also tries his best to not step on the toes of minorities of that group.
“My form is a black person” and “I am a black person” are massively different things. One of them is just normal tulpamancy the other is problematic

i think i would only have problem if someone a headmate was trying to portray themselves as a person of certain origin, it becomes a caricature that would make me very uncomfortable
4:56 PM
as in, if it's just about looks, i'm not sure i would have problem with that
Eh, I don’t really care what some random black person thinks. One single guy is not ever the spokesperson for a whole group and I find it irritating when people act like it has any kind of weight
