I'm just trying to make sense of your comment. "because others (even opponents) see it being accidentally used", "the "gang" starts really using the (previously innocuous) symbol to spite/make fun of the opponents that originally noticed it" are your words, not mine.

I will try to rephrase, similar to my last comment. It seems the "Z" was purely administrative at first. But we see it on all the vehicles of people committing atrocities and associate it with the actions, not with administrivia. And the entities that want to perpetuate these actions notice and elevate the administrative symbol to a sign of their perceived righteousness.
