The word tulpa has been removed from its original cultural context in a way many people aren’t okay with. So the plural community now calls them parogens.
It means intentionally created. In the context of plurality, it makes perfect sense, because it distinguishes parogens from traumagenic, walk-in, and other kinds of system members.
I work in tech, and one of the things that we learn early on is to not use tech jargon around people who are not also in the tech field because it can alienate them and make them feel stupid.
So while you may have a fully fluent and valid mental construct of parogens and all of the assorted lore attached to that, talking about them as if it were common knowledge to people who have not been exposed to the same information is at best off-putting.
