-Tulpamancy is a specific approach to inducing a [[parogenic]] [[system]].
+A stressgenic [[system]] is one who formed to cope with stress. For example, the [[original]] may have been unable to continue coping with everyday life, and had to replace themself with a different, newly-constructed [[host]].
-===== Controversy =====
-Much of the [[plural]] community finds tulpamancy distasteful, at least as practiced under that name. Tulpamancy has its own separate online subculture, which has appropriated the practice from Tibetan Buddhism, and is largely concentrated on 4chan and Reddit---although, for the record, this does //not// mean //all// modern tulpamancers are alt-right dirtbags.
