Are you sure they don't use youtho as the romanization for their display name?

Lofter and Twitter both have it set to "悠嗖" (with twitter attaching a "Y" and an "O" to the start and end of the name) and I put it through a Romaniser, so at least from my end, yes I am sure. Not sure if you're asking in a roundabout way of saying I got this wrong or you're genuinely asking. :ConfusedGura: (ETA: Though, from another angle, the usernames both are "Youtho", so I get that angle too.)

I'm genuinely asking because people can stylize or use different systems when romanizing and while Chinese is a grey area for Danbooru's romanization rules, official romanizations take precedence. Considering youtho sounds like you sou, I'd say it's highly likely they use it as the romanization for their name.

Ahhh, gotcha, makes sense. Think I should switch back to youtho sans the Twitter username qualifier? For reference, I threw this through this Romaniser (Simplified Chinese -> Hanyu Pinyin) for the result.
