Hi! :3 I've been lightly involved in inclusive plurality spaces since my syscovery several years ago, but I've never spent time in tulpamancy specific spaces so my knowledge of the community is limited to the broad strokes. I'm calling upon your experiences :)
In good faith, *why* do people tend to pursue tulpamancy? As a happy plural system ourselves we don't doubt there's good in it, but I'm curious what motivations you've noticed in people newly taking up tulpamancy. Is it a matter of wanting a friend, a "cool factor", or any other reasons? Thanks :D
Well, this census is unfortunately almost a decade old now, so I can't say in confidence it 100% reflects the community now, but it's still worth showing:
Here's the the data on what interested people before and after doing Tulpamancy:
The primary reason was companionship. Again, I can't say with certainty on how that's changed since the last census, but I wouldn't be surprised if that hasn't changed much.
So the most "official" answer I can give you is companionship and/or curiosity before making a tulpa to companionship/self-improvement after making a tulpa.
