Because the new Power Rangers isn't trying to push some random agenda that doesn't need to be pushed in the first place (an all-female Ghostbusters film should have been marketed as "hey these are new Ghostbusters!" rather than "hey these are all women!" Honestly nobody would have cared or raised a fuss if it hadn't tried to act like that was something new or novel).

The film wasn't really marketed as "they're women look at that!" - all the trailers I saw were just... pretty normal trailers. Where they all happened to be women. And internet trolls started trolling. Just like when people wanked about a black guy being in Star Wars after the first trailer. That trailer didn't have the tagline "Star Wars - this time with with a black stormtrooper" - but people still cared.

Basically what I am saying is Internet Tough Guys will throw a fit about diversity and call it "forced" and "pandering" no matter how you do it and you would have to be actively ignoring it not to see it.

That was never the marketing scheme, it's just what people fixated on. You can't market a movie about women without having women appear in the trailer or other promotional material. It's a documented phenomenon that people will preceive a female majority when the group is barely a quarter female, and an actual female majority is seen as an aberration. People watch a trailer for a movie that's mainly about women, see mostly women in the trailer, THEY THINK THIS IS REALLY CRAZY STRANGE, and gets stuck on the fact that it's all women and assume this was what they were supposed to see as the main point.
