Ngl, I am loving the youchu rights activism that we somehow created. :D :D

They shouldn't have to smell nice to be worthy of decent treatment, though! So I almost like it better if their smell is just inherent.

Maybe it's not actual tumors, but just how their skin normally looks? Like toads, and probably many other rl animals I can't think of right now. :P

(And I think it is only their blood that smells, but I have no idea if I'm right, lol.)

"So another misunderstanding, then? SW calls them tumours in the bears scene."

Possibly a misunderstanding, but also I think I just never took it as a medical definition and more as a general description, like lumps or something. Like, the youchu look like that and people think it makes them ugly (like with a lot of rl animals), but they're not inconvenienced by their appearance itself.

"I took it literally because it's Shen Wei being Professor Shen (of biology, even) in his office. So I feel like these are all scientific facts."

Dang, that's a really good point! (And now I'm curious what the original word is, and if it can be used as a general non-medical description too. :D)

It's 肉瘤, which the dictionary says means sarcoma.
