Weirdness about the community

So I'm working on my first tulpa. I'm 3 days in and I've found some very informative guides. I feel like I'm making progress with my tulpa, however little it may be. My main concern right now is the community. Seeing posts on this sub where it almost looks like people are role-playing looks strange. I believe there is some amazing stuff to be discovered here, but the way I see many of the reddit comments act is rather unsettling.

I see things where users chat-roleplay themselves and their tulpas. This lends an air of dishonesty I usually associate with young children with active imaginations who lie in order to feel special.

Example:

Me: Hello tulpa!

Tulpa: Arigatou OwO !!

Now of course it would be wrong to assume this person is just pretending to have a tulpa, but the way the message is typed out makes all credibility vanish pretty fast.

While I'm grateful to the large number of people who discovered the modern methods to forming a tulpa, having die-hard bronies and die-hard anime fans making tulpas of their favorite characters is a huge turn-off for a lot of people. If I hadn't found solid guides on creating my tulpa, I would have never believed that this community was anything more than a weird internet subculture.

I didn't write this post to hate on this subreddit or its users. I also didn't write this to solve the credibility problem I see from many users posting here. The reason I wrote this is because as this subreddit stands now, finding someone who's tulpa isn't a pony, anthropomorph, or anime character, seems to be harder than finding someone who is just creating a personal and non-fictional tulpa.

I believe tulpas can be whatever their creators want them to be, and I would never criticize anyone for their choice of tulpa, but others aren't so understanding. I would love to see some users with non-fandom tulpas post more around here and lend some credibility to the whole community. With doubt being a big problem for some people, we could use some credibility.
