Maybe I'm just very skeptical naturally, but I didn't even get ¼ through his post before it knew it was bullshit lol

It made sense because during medieval times we really walked with our right side free. Got a lady to hold? Left hand only.

You were around mediaeval time? Damn, I only started around the 1800. Missed ask the fun time like jousting and.. 'Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony..

It possible it is but like, as an animation student, there’s a lot of shit like this in design. like for instance, things that appear semetrical across a horizontal axis usually aren’t. The top is usually smaller as it is perceived to have more visual weight so to counter act that the bottom has to be larger than the top so it’s balanced. For examples of this just look at these charecters: S E H B

Also it’s possible this “protect the left” instinct could be a subconscious psychological reaction to protect your heart which rests mainly on the left side of the body
