Addendum, “only you” is an interesting case where people point at people. There’s the forest fire one off, but searching twitter gifs for “only you” turned up some other ones too (that I don’t think are just references to the bear?)

Celebs and politicians getting into a stage often point to specific audience members, as well as during press conferences Pointing with finger gun has different connotations I think I don’t buy the I-it theory. I think it’s more the connotations of accusation or singling out.

Specifically while walking onto a stage to applause… literally taught as a power move to act like you recognize and are acknowledging people in the audience whether or not you do. They point to random people or ambiguously.
