I’ve also taken basic first aid / trauma response courses, and had a large number of times I needed to put those skills to use.
That’s not blood.
It’s perfectly uniform in color, its too bright, too thin, too uniformly glossy, it shows no signs of pooling, dripping, as blood would.
Its some kind of thin paint or water coloring dye.
Its all uniform in density everywhere it is, on the hand, its only on one basically surface/side of the hand.
If it were blood, it would be dripping, it would leave streaks that contour around the entire geometry of the hand, in all dimensions.
Instead, this looks like it was applied with a brush, poorly, like OP isn’t left handed and/or skilled with a brush.
Also, that monitor has broken glass craters.
This hand has no wounds.
There are no cuts, gauges, bits of glass stuck in their hand.
Even if he did set it back up after punching it repeatedly… for a hand to do that, to that monitor, he’d have to be hitting it on one or two knuckles.
Thats like 15ish serious impacts… those knuckles should have significant amounts of lacerations, probably chunks or strips of skin just missing, gauged out, hanging off, dangling, loose.
Further, look at the impact craters on the monitor.
Many of them have a very small, circular center, with a wider outer radius, again circular.
The force you’d need to hit that monitor with, with a fist, to do that… well, you’d be hitting with more than one knuckle.
(I guess maybe unless you are an exceedingly highly skilled martial artist, which is simply statistically unlikely. I have over 10 years of Karate, 1st level Black Belt, and I’d say you’d need like, roughly another 5 years, something like 3rd to 4th Dan, before you could reliably be both that forceful, and precise.)
So, many of these impacts, particularly the one on the right… you can’t make those with a fist. A fist would leave an impact that looks like it has at least two knuckes of major primary impact points, the crater radius…would not be uniformly circular.
You can make that kinda perfect circle with a ball peen hammer though, or some other kind of hammer with a fairly narrow diameter … and then you can just hit near the same spot a few more times, to try and emulate what a fist impact should look like, as we see on the left a few times.
Apropo of nothing, I highly recommend a Visual Calculus playthrough of Disco Elysium.
Yep, I was gonna say this too.
I’ve done martial arts a while.

Uh anyway… Fake? 100000%
Gay? … I dunno, who cares.
I need to finally push through Disco. I’ll give visual calc a shot!
The first time I ever tried to play Disco, I thought I could outsmart the game and do a minmaxxed custom build.
… I attempted to grab my tie from the ceiling fan, immediately had a heart attack, and died.
10/10 game.
