I think the primary emotional reaction here is that "right clickers" don't get it. Even if saving and replicating the image outside of the blockchain doesn't matter it shows that the person doing it doesn't respect the idea of the blockchain. They're stupid and don't get what the real ownership means but as blockchain ownership is even more of a fake social contract than other kinds of ownership people not taking it seriously is actually an existential threat to the concept.

Note: The above is not my perspective. NFTs are stupid and a scam. I am just trying to understand the mindset.

I agree with you and I think it's great when coinbros feel threatened, but I also am pretty sure most of the cryptocoin hype people don't understand it either. I think most understanding goes as deep as "Here's the benefits of decentralization, cryptocurrencies will bring those benefits I swear for real, and you can get in on the ground floor with snakeoilcoin NFTs."
