I think ZKK's definitely fallen into this sort of cult mentality where any evidence to the contrary is perceived as a sign that ZKK is now even more likely to happen. Honestly the only reason I entertained the possibility of ZKK was because of how vocal and fervent ZKK supporters were on this site.
The push for ZKK was so strong on worstgen that I didn't want to be wrong about it and then get called out(because that's a thing apparently).
But I've realized that a lot of content on worstgen is just circlejerk from the most fervent fanboys. ZKK was only so popular on worstgen because the idea was ridiculed everywhere else.
