Renaming "Tulpa" (and other tulpa terminologies)

[GuessWho]

I don't think it will be changing on this community, given the already established domain name.

 

...Aside from those users comically calling them tupperware.

I refuse to seriously call the sweetest and most understanding people I know plastic food storage containers.

I'm okay with tulpa, to be honest. Does it wholly matter that much? Words do not make the man, and a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, after all.

 

Keep tulpa. It works for me.

 

This.

I feel that we could have a far longer, scientific name for tulpas, but for the moment, as a less formal term, tulpas is fine. But one user who doesn't like the name isn't really a good indicator of a community wide desire to change it.

The only problem with calling them thoughtforms is that it's a highly ambiguous term, whereas tulpa (at least in English) refers to a specific phenomenon.

[Pronas]

Ok guys i got this.

...Tuppers.

I think tulpa is perfectly fine, but if you really want to go more scientific... how about morphomens, morphonou, animorphia, or something similar?

 

No. How about we call them what they have been turned into. Plastic storage bins.

Why would you ever want to rename it? Human is human, tulpa is tulpa. And plastic food container is plastic food container.

I fully agree with KingJick - does it really matter which way we call them?

 

And i think "tulpa" is better because it's multilingual. Human, человек, 人間... Do we really want same crap with our little friends? =_=

I honestly don't see why we should change it, and it probably won't change since it's an established term here, and the site's name is tulpa.info anyway.

At most the term tupper could become more used.

Why?
