Bro, they changed her outfit, it's not because she's in a swamp. You might as well argue she should be wearing hip waders instead.
Why they did that is anyone's guess (complete mystery), but with today's climate people can hazard that guess. It doesn't help that the fishnets and and hat were her most iconic look. It'd be like taking the star, or blue away from Cap, or the helmet or... hammer... away from Thor. Women can wear pants, no one is saying it's impossible for women to put their legs through pantholes. They're saying that them taking away her fishnets is caca, and here's the reason they think why.
They did the pants thing before, but they at least kept the fishnets on her arms I guess. People don't like change. Seems like they kind of put the fishnets back (or bits of it, which makes less sense) but we'll see how that goes down the road.

And? So what if they did? She still has her trademark top hat and long coat which is homage to dad. I dont get the outrage. Like I was saying a male character like say Cap can get a gun metal militaristic uniform..an energy shield and a face mask and people will call it dark and edgy. Hell Thor can LOSE a arm and his hammer and still be cool. But let a female sex symbol throw on a pair of jeans, cut her hair or button up her blouse and it's sjw propaganda.
Im not bashing you..mind you. Im just calling bullshit.
They always change Zatanna's outfit. They did during her solo series before flashpoint, they did during Justice League darks first run, then switched it back to fishnets, now back to pants.
Because there isn't a big agenda going around about overtly sexualizing male characters. That's the difference. Have you ever seen any news on any game in the past 5 years that has any hint of the female being sexualized? People lose their ****ing minds.
It doesn't help that toning down the sexuality falls in line with the current agendas. Suddenly most of the females in comics stopped dressing in basically panties? Pure coincidence... has nothing to do with the current climate.
It doesn't matter if they made the greatest costume ever, it's hard to separate it from being agenda driven with everything that's going on. Good or bad, everything is relevant to that nowadays and a very possible reason for change.
It'd be like if there was a big Irish potato disaster going on and suddenly everyone started caring about Irish people. Pure coincidence is that Irish people start numbering in the dozens in comics. Suddenly you have a bunch of Superman and Cyclops knockoffs talking about potatoes and drinking. Nothing to do with the Potato Famine Rebirth. Nothing.
Also, like you said yourself "sex symbol". None of these male characters are sexualized to the same degree. Plus, Thor was dressing down if anything when he went full on depression.
And you seem to forget that people hated taking Thor's hammer away, losing his name, and there exists the whole 90's costume fiasco where everyone was dressed like they take double penetration up the ass pit. None of those costumes were good. Plus you just used an armored character in Cap wearing more armor as if that applies directly. Didn't he also turn into an old man at the time as well? He also turned into a nazi recently too... of which people hated as well. Really didn't like actually.
More people probably hated every costume change you listed than the people who think covering up Zatanna's asscheeks is a propaganda machine spinning its cogs. That doesn't mean it does or doesn't have merit. Still though, hard to separate from agendas with everything going on.

"But let a female sex symbol throw on a pair of jeans, cut her hair or button up her blouse and it's sjw propaganda."
It usually is. Look what they did to Carol for example.
Which agendas are you referring to besides trying to tell good stories? Because I can't think of a time in comics history where the creators had their heads this far up their asses. Making a political story isn't the same as what is effectively propaganda that Marvel makes now. You can tell when the story takes a complete backseat to the ideology.
I just remembered, in the very same issue where Mockingbird talks about not having a Y chromosome, a nine year old girl uses her new attained powers to kill no less than four people (all of them men, one was a police officer) and gets off Scott free.
