I Am A Real Werewolf

Hello again. Trying to avoid spam... but I do have some thing I do want to bring up.
Lately there's been this trend, particularly on Amino, Instagram, Tumblr.
People are claiming werewolves and lycans are different. They are also claiming there are breeds like bloodchasers, fogbreathers, etc. Most of the info is on this page (https://theshapeshiftersof.tumblr.com/)
It has become quite the trend. Particularly the 'werewolf vs lycan' idea (they even go so far as to say werewolves and lycans have different genes).
I want to know (I personally, am challenging this, and don't believe this) if you agree with this, why or why not? What arguments would you use against this? What proof do you have that this is wrong?
Curious, as I am currently attempting to correct this issue on Amino right now.

Lycan is short for Lycanthrope which is Greek for "Wolf Man". Basically it's just another name for Werewolf. There is no difference.

@Qwerty14 Agreed. But I see a trend of differentiating the two lately.
@wolfess Yeah I think it is just thanks to recent movies depicting werewolves transforming at will instead of the more campy "only on the night of a full moon". Specifically the movie series Underworld. Still they aren't different.

@Qwerty14 I know.
