40% is not “most,” since it’s less than half — but you’re still right.

Real shit. This article is not even as big a deal as the hand wave itself — it’s really weird to start an obsessive crusade against it.

Frankly that guy sounds like someone very capable of domestic abuse, so it doesn’t surprise me that she looked away — it may have been out of fear.

The actual creator often does suffer from poor sales though, in the form of 1) an entire dev team getting laid off because their game sold poorly even if it was the fault of marketing or budgeting; 2) a sequel to the game becoming a near-impossibility, and the IP that the creators invented thereby becoming worthless…

TBF the article pretty explicitly defends him. It only embeds quotes from people who support him, includes his explanation for the gesture, and ends with:

This is amazing.

A master of the third eye will feel the pain of a heart attack in advance and realize what’s happening; the sedative just makes his future cloudy.

Very uncanny valley — if you cover the hand joint, it genuinely looks like a screenshot, but his proportions are a little off.

The Force Awakens’ U.S. audience was about 58% men, 42% women. Still majority men, but two things worth noting:
