ZKK is serious Psychology thesis material. It involves lots of fundamental psychological constructs, from collective identity and in-group versus out-group conflict to tons of cognitive biases. Not joking, it was fascinating.

It was an idea clearly fueled by the collective identity of belonging to the Zoro fandom.
A hill to die on not as much because people believed it (which they did, but people believe in tons of theories yet none became as widespread and collective as ZKK) but because they belonged to a group identified as "your own" in opposition to "the other" (mainly Sanji fandom and, to a lesser extent, Luffy fandom). It's not a surprise that the people who trumpeted it more loudly were the same users who tend to conflict Sanji and Luffy fans more frequently and more aggressively in this site; and the very nature of this forum, which is a social community by definition with a strong Zoro versus Sanji/Luffy bias, just elevated the identity clash (I'm in other One Piece communities and in none of them exists such a war between fandoms; funnily enough, in those communities we barely discussed the ZKK possibility).
