Which is also a sad answer, because it would mean the problem will never go away.
If Magnus wins tiebreaks, will people forgive and forget G12 Draw?

Carlsen didn't mind the draws. He figured that once the next phase started and the time controls were shorter, he'd have the advantage.

That calculation may be different if he’s facing Ding or MVL. They’ve both proven they can give him a real challenge in the tiebreaker.
My patzer projection is that because Magnus won so convincingly in the Rapids Tiebreaks 3-0, his draw offer in Game 12 will fade over time in people's memories, or the memories of initial anger and shock will instead be replaced as being strategically very astute by Magnus to safely steer the match to the Rapid tiebreaker portion.
So the projected answer is Yes, (most) people will forgive and forget Magnus's draw offer in Game 12.
