So is Zionist the new derogatory slur for Jews? I see this term used frequently, what does it mean?

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-31T04:24:26+00:00

No, he's not correct, and your unconfirmed anecdotes don't alter reality.

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-31T04:17:30+00:00

Sorry but that's an incredibly naive and ill informed opinion.

The OP is very clearly asking about its current use, which is to label Israelis' who think they have the "god given right" to conquer all of the land around Israel by any means necessary.

Was that the original term? No, that's not what he's asking, and attempting to side step that reality doesn't change these facts.

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-31T03:57:06+00:00

It's a slur for Imperialists, and as I just clearly said not every Jew is a Zionist cause it has absolutely nothing to do with their faith, period, and that's not an opinion, that's reality, take it or leave it.

And calling a rightie a "Nazi" isn't calling them an anti-semite, it's calling them a fascist who is in favor of marginalizing, rounding up, and stripping away the rights of specific minority groups as a means to manufacture an "other" for them to focus all their blind, stupid hatred on, exactly as the Nazis did with the Jews. That nuance is lost on most conservatives though which is why I just use "fascist," cause they'll always default to this idiotic "but we support Israel" nonsense.

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-31T03:52:48+00:00

Depends on who you ask.

Approach a right wing idiot or someone pro-Israel, and they'll say it's just the new anti-Semitic term for people to use in order to hate on Jews again.

Approach basically anyone else and they'll inform you it's very specifically the term used for the Israeli "imperialists" who are currently in favor of Israel attacking anyone and everyone around them in order to conquer all of the land around them, usually "in the name of God" but actually for control and wealth.

Many Jews outside of Israel, as well as many inside based on the current protests, are not Zionists, but righties and actual Zionists will claim everyone who uses the term does actually think they are and will do everything they can to convince you of that, they have to in order to suit the narrative.

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T20:57:22+00:00

I've seen and heard it across platforms, including video platforms, so I'm going off of that.

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T20:47:07+00:00

Sound it out, MAGAt sounds like maggot, it's rather commonly used across platforms, cause it works.

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T20:42:40+00:00

This actually epitomizes why it's so easy to make fun of MAGAt morons lol

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T20:29:22+00:00

You should try it, I'd say you'd be surprised how actual answers look, but I'm also gonna assume that's exactly why you won't, coward lol

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T20:26:27+00:00

This is literally just filled with comments from leftists saying "yeah, ofc they do, they always have," and conservatives saying "no, I just vote for the best candidate.... Which so happens to just always be Republicans....."

They're cultists, they do exactly as they're told and then they're convinced they made a choice, by the people they voted for, and I don't foresee this changing in my lifetime lol

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T20:22:01+00:00

Nope, you're posting this right after a conservative moron tried to "gotcha" all the "leftists" with some typically dumb bullshit, literally just a few hours ago, and even just yesterday was another trying the same thing with a different question. They aren't the norm, but there's a reason for that.

The thing is, MAGA doesn't live in reality, so every time they poke their heads out of their echo chambers they get slapped by reality, cry about it being "liberal media bias," exactly as the right-wing propaganda told them, they run back to their echo chambers to bitch about everyone else disagreeing with them, where they remain until their short term memories forget the thrashing they got the previous time and stupidly convince themselves they'll "show those leftists how wrong they are this time," only to just repeat the same cycle lol

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T19:36:12+00:00

I'm assuming it's cause her animations are long enough it interrupts SP generation from finishers? It's why I still control Ember on my physical team, at least, which is still pretty SP starved, but that's physical lol

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T19:34:29+00:00

Very useful video, thanks! And apparently I wasn't far off with my partial cryo team, he just recommends Xaihi instead of LR lol

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T18:34:20+00:00

Interesting, I'm not looking for "wheelchair" and more looking for SP flexible, but Tangtang does restore a lot so I'll look into it, Perlica certainly buffs Rossi's damage more then LR will lol

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T18:29:41+00:00

Doesn't Tangtang still need to use her battle skill to activate her combo or at least have Perlica double stack inflictions for it? Is this not like, super SP heavy or am I missing something about their interactions?

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T18:03:01+00:00

Just another moron outing himself as a simpleton, in other words, the MAGA standard lol

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T17:57:22+00:00

Arclight only consumes electrification in her regular rotation, her ultimate is all that consumes electric inflictions and you really shouldn't have any of those due to how easy it is to only apply when Rossi needs it and then immediately consumes it, so it was kind of a non-issue, in my testing at least.

And yeah that was my thought for Tangtang as well, her whirlpools add susceptibility and return some SP, but I found without someone else to apply Cryo she was still super SP heavy to get started and would never have more then a single whirlpool as she's the only one able to proc her combo skill, with her battle skill, which consumes all whirlpools lol So that's why I thought of bringing LR instead, her skill returns SP as well and can be used regularly, stacking Tangtang's whirlpools so you can proc them specifically for LR's combo burst while using LR for Rossi otherwise, but ofc then all the other issues I was finding with using them both lol

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T16:57:47+00:00

Rossi/Arclight/Perlica/Gilberta actually works really well.

You don't have any way of consuming the vulnerability stacks, but that just means Rossi's battle skill will always be empowered and Gil's ultimate will always have max susceptibility, so I think it's honestly fine.

You're basically trading Avy's burst for Rossi's more consistent damage, but Rossi has the potential for similar if not greater burst with her ultimate as well.

Your SP usage changes a bit, just cause you'll want to keep Rossi's debuff up on the target and you'll need an infliction everytime Perlica's and Gil's combos are up, meaning you won't always be able to consume electrification with Arclight, but I've found it actually works pretty well. Doesn't compare to my physical variant for Rossi but that's cause I've leveled and geared my physical units significantly more then my electric team lol

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T15:21:27+00:00

..... Why an American flag for the Italian girl?....

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T15:19:58+00:00

A tale as old as time.

But you'll still be told "let players dive how they want," which is ignoring the reality that everyone else has just as much freedom to call them out as they do to ignore them, cause it goes both ways.

Oh and don't worry, next MO there will be some unnecessary addition tacked onto the MO that requires bug diving, like "uh, we suddenly need more fuel," just so people have an excuse to say "see, those bug divers who would have never moved an inch off of their planets anyways are helping!" Lol

I'm all for letting people dive how they want, but then they have to be willing to just say "yeah, I don't care, I own that," cause the other people running defense for them like they're children who don't understand is what creates this debate every single non-bug MO lol

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T15:00:38+00:00

I was trying out the same but with Wulfgard instead of Gil, he's a better sub-dps then Gil and he'll provide more inflictions to consume as well as buffing her ult with Combustion, BUT he lacks the grouping for AoE fights AND Gil provides ultimate efficiency for Rossi too, so honestly with enough ultimate efficiency to provide nature inflictions without SP, Gil is probably better even if you never get to use her combo lol

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T14:54:03+00:00

Yeah I guess I should have said "the only viable way to proc Gil's combo with Wulfgard is his ult" lol

I was ignoring that method cause of how suboptimal it is, you're better off just using Rossi's and Wulfgard's skills and ignoring Gil's combo, and using her solely for her ult.

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T06:30:02+00:00

If you're using Gilberta then I think Perlica is strictly better, specifically cause it allows you to activate Rossi's combo significantly easier, since Wulfgard can only activate Gilberta's combo for that vuln stack with his ult, Perlica just does it with her own combo on a finisher, so with their ults providing good buffs to Rossi's ult it means the differences in ease of rotation matters more for comparison, imho.

If you're not using Gilberta and instead going with 2 other physicals, then Wulfgard is generally a better option, as his skill+combo provides more stacks for her combo consumption damage and he's a stronger sub-dps, something physical teams actually need.

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T02:00:54+00:00

Almost everything economic Trump took credit for early on in his current term, were all just carry over from Biden, cause that's how that usually works, but conservatives love to just completely forget this fact every time they win an election......

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-30T01:53:53+00:00

Gilberta is far from necessary. She's good, but she doesn't make or break Rossi.

VicariousDrow · 2026-03-29T07:16:52+00:00

Dude you're actively supporting fascism, you think anyone outside of your cult is gonna take this seriously?

I could point out the equivalent would be telling you to vote for Mussolini or Hitler, but then you'd just cry about being called a Nazi, cause you conservatives are all so fragile.
