The ant in the woods

Opposite of "The Elephant in the Room."

Something that, despite being very small and insignificant, is the center of attention (often for political reasons).
Guy 1: Have you seen the new (insert movie here)?
Guy 2: Nah bro, I don't watch woke propaganda.
Guy 1: Dude, there's literally just one gay couple in the movie with less than 3 seconds of screen time. Stop paying so much attention to the ant in the woods.
