To put it nicely, I really don't like this.

I don't mean to interrupt your conversation about noses, but I've been thinking of practicing guitar for a while now. I like ambient metal and would like to play, but whenever I watch my host play, it looks complicated.

Have any other tulpas tried this, and how hard was it for you? I will try it regardless, but it would be nice to see how it played out for others. I think I would get frustrated if it didn't work and give up, haha

I've only ever played Osu. Host suggested to me that we could try other things, but I wasn't really interested. I like competition and precision, and that game offers both. I also like editing games. Making your own personal product is nice.

Personally, I feel as though most games are either shooters, fighters or puzzle games. Does anyone know of a game that isn't too genre-specific and also requires a certain level of skill to play properly? The latter would be more important, but things like call of duty would be boring to me.

I was actually hoping to see something useful regarding those stages.

Perhaps I didn't make it clear, but I was referring to "good" hosts as hosts whose tulpas are content with their lifestyle and share a healthy relationship, and "bad" hosts as hosts who do not have that.

The parent and time bomb analogies were just that. Analogies. I was also trying to make a global point and not address anything specific. If you got the point of what I said, you'd know that I was trying to explain how one does not always need to convince someone else to do what they believe is right.

And if you didn't, perhaps I didn't address my point very well.

So it's basically loosely defined words for things that weren't understood very well when those words were defined. And of course the community can't come up with words that give a clear and global definition of what they're addressing.

I hate semantics.

I'm Ea. You can pronounce my name either like "Aya" in "mayonnaise" or like the "Eah" in "yeah", except with a more drawn out "a". I enjoy thinking about and discussing irrelevant and philosophical subjects. I also enjoy competition and artwork.

I'm also a tulpa, but that shouldn't really matter. Everyone on the internet is an old man anyway.

Seeing that I have a tulpa who is really interested in the physical world, it would be very difficult to him if he wasn't allowed to have that option due to our shaky relationship. And well, as a host, I wouldn't want to force my tulpa to live a life like that. Nor would I want to live a life like that if I were a tulpa. So I guess I'll go the moralfag route of "treat others how you'd want yourself to be treated" or someshit.

And I'll assume that thanks to this mindset, your tulpa is content with you as a host. But not all hosts will have this mindset, nor would they apply it if you would take the time to explain it to them. You can't expect all hosts to be 'decent' hosts(in this case referring to not-entirely-selfish 'decent'), just like not all parents will be decent parents. Some parents do better, others do worse, some do very good, and others do very bad. My point was that you can not dictate another person's methods, you can only advise against something. This doesn't have to be done nicely, of course, but I feel as though some people tend to try to alter other's mentalities too much when they see that their behavior is detrimental towards themselves.

You're not obligated to help others, and if they are not willing to listen, then it is not your job to make them. If you'd be defusing a time bomb, and realized that it would take you more time to defuse it than there is left on the timer, you wouldn't stick around, would you? The same goes for self-destructive people. There's only so much you can do for them, and if they're not open to suggestion, harsh as it may sound, that is too bad for them and their tulpa.

They'll learn eventually.
Or not.

I don't see why people don't want to refer to tulpas as imaginary friends. You can only see them through your imagination. And if they're not your friends, you're doing something wrong.

I mean the ethical rules; the code of conduct many people seem to comform to.

Which is also what they hide behind whenever they have no reasoning to their school of thought. "Why wouldn't I do this?" "Because it's just wrong man!!"

Nothing is "just wrong" and everything social depends on the situation. This includes the relationship between a tulpa and a host. Even if a host makes a tulpa only for sex, if they are really sapient and dislike their existence, the sheer attention the host would give them while living out their fantasies would eventually leave them parallel enough to be able to resist whatever the host wants to do. And tulpas that aren't very independent seem to agree with their host often, so in the early stages of sentience, it probably wouldn't hurt them too much.

Either way; your head, your decisions. Being selective about the advice you give is fine, but once someone has already done something, the best you can do is tell them you disagree. Telling someone exactly what to do is always wrong in this practice.
