Were many people outraged by this photo?

This is the first I've heard of the photo or the outrage, so I genuinely don't know

Get enough people and you'll find someone outraged about everything.

If you want to modernize the analogy you might compare it to "school children identifying as cats and needing litterboxes" or any number of modern contemporary outrage over completely made up things.

Internet/modern culture in a nutshell, really.

We're capable of being upset by things that 20 years ago we'd have had no idea of. Ditto then, by things we wouldn't have known of 20y prior to that.
