So the "right-clicker mentality" essentially means not being technically illiterate?

Not really, it assumes we all know how to right click, but only the gauche would actually right click rather than buy an NFT (and presumably right click on the image brought up by the resulting URL ...).

No, it means not being 'NFT literate' (to put it generously) or sceptical/not buying in (literally) to the idea of NFTs: 'I can just right-click and save the image, I don't need to pay for the NFT.'

  It's the other side of the same coin, isn't it?

    Well I don't think so, unless you're saying 'disagreeing with NFT value' is 'technically illiterate'? I thought you were sort of remarking that NFT proponents are the ones not technically literate (paying for NFTs rather than being aware of right-click>save) so I just meant that no, it's being used the other way around, by the proponents, derogatorily about the people who would rather right-click>save an image than 'invest' in an NFT. Perhaps you realise that, and I just misunderstood your comment.

  Really, it's a complaint that you're not following the rules of the game they just made up and insist you have to play even though you never agreed to it.

It means you're ignorant, indifferent, or confrontational about the social aspects of "proof" of ownership over the pixels. This is one of those fantastic clarifications that both sides can agree upon. The idea that you can privatize a record of deeds is indeed an interesting idea. IMHO, the best counterargument isn't right clicking; it is creating another registrar with the same assets and different "owners".
