I'll put this bluntly folks, its a story. The author has a right to tell it
however he wants to tell it. Lets end this before its banned. Ok? If he
wants hippy werewolves in china then its his perogative. As long as the
story is enjoyed who CARES how realistic or accurate to mythology or fact it
is?!
One last bit of info, to clarify Lycanthropy in the real world. Its a mental
disorder where one believes they are capable of becoming a wolf or other
such creature. It is not inherited, it is a mental disorder. There is a
genetic disorder called Vampirism(dont ask me for details on it), but there
is no(at least to my knowledge) genetic disorder related to lycanthropy.
