"My characters are like my children, so I don't want anybody but me to use them!"
...
Are we talking about the characters of this book of yours I just bought a while ago?
Excuse me sir/lady, but I feel like I've got to ask - have you sold / do you intend to sell your real children as well?
Oh, and do you feel entitled to decide of their entire existence(s), as well?
If you answered yes to either one of these questions, please refrain from ever having children - or if you already have, go call the social services of your country, and inform them that you are hopelessly unfit to be a parent.
If you answered no to both questions, congratulations! You just realized how idiotic your brilliant argument actually is.
If you start rambling that it's not the same, it's a metaphore, or any justification that will allow you to keep using that crap of an argument, congratulations! I think you've set a new record of stupidity.
