I don't know that they would. I think the outrage comes when someone feels like something they like has been changed in the name of social responsibility/wokeness. For instance, if I build a game from the ground up that's about gay people, no one's gonna be bothered. If I as a developer have frequently put gay stuff in my games and other things that I make, no one's gonna be bothered.

But if Mario and Luigi all of a sudden are like "Protect trans kids also sorry about Tomodachi Life that one time" people are gonna be like "Why is Mario doing this thing now? He didn't before, so he shouldn't now."

I think there's a clear social disconnect between "I am not hetero" and "I am LGBTQ, I love rainbow shit" and so people don't associate the rainbow flag with queerness, instead it's associated with awkward activists who spent their teenage years jacking it to furry porn on Tumblr. It's pretty cringe to show allegiance to those uncomfy people so people don't like the flag in media.
