So you think that your video game character that looks exactly like 100 other video game characters, is the same thing as the person who plays it?
You think that you're entitled to "courtesy" with regard to it? What if your character appears in the background of a shot of my character? Do I need your permission before posting it?
You're right that I have no compassion for anyone who cries over their video game character being used. The complaint and its defenders truly make me laugh. Please, keep it up.
