It's certainly not as mainstream as all the scorn Rowling is getting.

The difference is that (A) the Dumbledore stuff is consistently in the news because she's trying to navigate making a new series about Dumbledore and Grindelwald's relationship and having to dance around justifying how it's gay but isn't going to be depicted unambiguously in the movies and (B) she also says a lot of other stuff about canon, like the thing about wizards shitting, that people laugh at.

I doubt it's because of the stupid poop thing Pottermore tweeted, since LeFou got the same type of backlash for not being gay enough either. Apparently a small amount of representation is worse than no representation.

Plus, it's funny how Rowling can reveal extra details and backstories not in her books about all her other characters with no fuss, like how McGonnagall fell in love with a muggle who is later killed by death eaters, but when it's about two men being intimate then she's just being silly.

The LeFou thing seems like a bad comparison, because wasn't the controversy there that Disney hyped up that it was actually in the movie itself, and then it was a whole lot of nothing?

Also it seems weird to say that fandom is too mad about Rowling talking about gay men, in the same thread where everyone else is saying that fandom isn't mad enough about lesbians

They didn't hype it up, the gay director mentioned it in an interview with a gay magazine because he was excited, while emphasizing it was a small scene, and it blew up from there.

Also, while the dancing with Stanley scene was small, lefou being in love with gaston was a pretty big part of his storyline.

The LeFou thing was shit.

nayrt but yeah, this. Rowling's a conspicuous creator and spokesperson for the Harry Potter universe and receives a LOT of attention because of her past tweeted additions to the canon. MCU doesn't have that spokesperson/creator to the same degree, and hasn't built up the momentum like Rowling has, particularly on the issue of who's gay, etc.
