Well.. if it makes you feel better, there is more in this name that just some bad French accent. One clue: Persia. Was it what you were thinking of? (I don't really want to say more publically because I'm still not sure how much of a spoiler that would be).
You really want to distract me from my studying. So now, I obviously I will go onto google and read EVERYTHING about the history of Persia (because we all know how less interesting Persia is than shoulder luxations). 
I insult them often and think they kind of deserve what is coming for them. I just feel it weird when people call their character a baby or such, unless it's a literal baby.
I never have a direct talk to them (like asking them to cooperate or such), or treat them as an entity that is relevant to my own word. I personally think having a mental dialogue to your own creation is creepy, and I make in any way possible they aren't aware of my existence.
Kainat … welcome to the world of creeps! You are due for a wake-up call, we are ALL (and I am saying ALL - looking at you too) creepy on here. Just in different, varied ways!!! 
Me being a tulpamancer, I am keenly aware of how I relate to and interact with my characters. Even I, however, have no problem with a character getting insulted undeservingly. It's just a basic ability to differentiate between reality and fiction. A character has no more right to be treated fairly than a slice of bread has a right to not be eaten.
I had to google what "Tulapmancy" is and I was truly impressed by the very concept of it. I can indeed see that there is some cynical humor behind how society approach the term and concept, however I do believe that it is quite close to reality.
Was it in his "Metaphysics" that Descartes proposed that all ideas originate from the outside, that a human mind cannot create anything independent of external influence? I am myself a believe that ideas are independent and that they chose us, as opposed to us choosing, let alone developing, them. They modify us, we do not modify them. Our minds are too underdeveloped to understand the ideas in their complete form, our minds butcher them and absorb the small pieces that they can, reflecting them in different processes (speech, writing, physical creations).
As such, ideas, and characters being ideas, would be independent, not a reflection of us, rather we produce an imperfect, partial reflection of them. Like a tiny piece of glass that can only show your nose, the corner of your mouth, being too small to reflect your whole being.
I don't know. I have never read Descartes. You model of ideas being channeled instead of created by human minds might very well be valid for all I know. If so, than respecting the dignity of characters would be a valid principle. You certainly explained it well. Buuuuut, I am a results-oriented pragmatist. If characters are channeled and can be harmed by disrespect, I would expect to have seen some evidence of that happening by now. Until I find some, I think I will stick with my policy that fiction is fiction.
Yeah, though I'm not sure why. A handful of my characters are real ugly on the inside and refuse to change - I have no hesitations referring to them as the idiots / jerks they are in discussion. My main character is quite dopey and very sensitive, and while he really doesn't deserve it, I pick on him a lot outside of writing his story. I guess I just must be one of those people who is mean to her OCs. :<
oh yes, Jr is a fucking dumbass 
like its starting to show creators cant have fun without being judged in this day and age cause everyone has to be offended...
pretty soon having your characters do bad things will be considered manipulation which can also be abusive, to a being that doesn't exist in our plain of reality
I do it to all my characters, the more weird they are the more joke insults they get. At this point they've all got nicknames like "guy who looks like he goes through your trash" and "demonic clown hipster"
Hohohohohohoho
Hmmm lets talk about my insane/stupid/irresponsible brats
1- Prince Lisianthus de Aneirim
This piece of crap is a crying baby that couldn't get his shit together after his daddy said a big NO that changed his plans and basically THROWED HIMSELF AND HIS FUTURE ON A VOLCANO
You can't just... you know... TALK TO YOUR FATHER?
2- My homeboy Sage...
His parents gave his name in hope that he'll reflect it in his life. Well... he is smart, but not that sage... His friends messed with his life revealing his "illegal" plans to his teachers. But he loves that bunch of weirdos and never said how they made him feel and just decided to go to total self-imposed isolation.
Yeah... I love my OCs <3
I definitely insult my characters through my other characters. My main gets called a fucking idiot and or a fucking moron quite a bit by his best friend. 
Only my main one Alexandra(Ohm) because she just can’t stay out of trouble. The rest I really don’t insult.
Yup, actually me and my friends constantly beat up my protag because she's really dumb and immature. Sometimes one of my friends will point at a drawing of her and go "she's so stupidddddddddddd..."
@dawgofdawgness
I'll fight your friends, Frances is a precious dum dum and I will die for her
You say it's weirdly abusive when someone throws jabs on the shy or awkward ones, here's kinda one but... well I dunno if this counts :''D
It left me heartbroken writing this... took me weeks to not get emotional about it but this just might be subtle for some
