It's bullshit, but it is still used in the US legal system.

Mutual combat, a term commonly used in United States courts, occurs when two individuals intentionally and consensually engage in a fair fight,
while not hurting bystanders or damaging property. There have been numerous cases where this concept was successfully used in defense of the accused. In some cases, mutual combat may result in killings.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_combat

Besides how bullshit this is, feels like it would need confirmation from both parties beforehand.

If two people agree to fight, it's fine as long as no bystanders are injured and no property gets damaged.

Seems like a ridiculous defence. As exposed in this case, when it is used to absolve bullies when their victim fights back.

That sounds like pure BS. 1800s duel shit. Manslaughter from bar fights and the like wouldnt exist if this was true.

No charges will be filed in connection with the fight that happened the day before Nex Benedict, a nonbinary high school student, died by suicide in Oklahoma, the district attorney investigating the case said Thursday.

The fight in the high school bathroom appeared to be an "instance of mutual combat," Stephen Kunzweiler, Tulsa County's district attorney, said in a statement announcing his decision not to charge anyone.

Mutual combat?

TopicBye bye, TikTok: House votes overwhelmingly to ban it
WesternMedia
03/13/24 11:57:55 AM
#56
Communist China is Americas largest geopolitical foe and is using technology to actively undermine Americas economy and security," Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said in a statement after the vote, warning that TikTok could be used to access American data and spread "harmful" information.
"Todays bipartisan vote demonstrates Congress opposition to Communist Chinas attempts to spy on and manipulate Americans, and signals our resolve to deter our enemies."
Fifty Democrats and 15 Republicans voted against the bill. Among them were progressives like Reps. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., a Senate candidate, as well as conservatives like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who lamented that she had previously been banned from social media.
The top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., was a surprising no vote. He also cited free speech issues with the bill.
Adversaries like China "shut down newspapers, broadcast stations, and social media platforms. We do not," Himes said in a statement. "We trust our citizens to be worthy of their democracy. We do not trust our government to decide what information they may or may not see."
TikTok, owned by China-based parent company ByteDance, has mounted an aggressive lobbying campaign to kill the legislation, arguing that it would violate the First Amendment rights of its 170 million U.S. users and harm thousands of small businesses that rely on it. "This process was secret and the bill was jammed through for one reason: its a ban," the company said on X.
Paul Tran, who, with his wife, has a skin care company called Love and Pebble, protested at a pro-TikTok rally outside the Capitol on Tuesday, with a message for members: You will be destroying small businesses like us; this is our livelihood. Weve created success."
He said their business nearly shut down last year until TikTok Shop came along and totally exploded our business. Now 90% of their business comes from the app, he said.
If you pass this bill, Tran said, you will be destroying the American Dream that we really believe in.
Despite that push, the bill sailed through the House, raising pressure on the Democratic-led Senate to act. President Joe Biden, whose 2024 campaign joined TikTok last month, has said that if the bill reaches his desk, he will sign it into law.

Its backers say its wrong to call the legislation an outright ban. Dubbed the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, the bill would create a process for the president through the FBI and intelligence agencies to designate certain social media applications under the control of foreign adversaries, like China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, as national security threats.
Once an app was deemed a risk, it would be banned from online app stores and web-hosting services unless it severed ties with entities under control of the foreign adversary within 180 days of the designation. That means TikTok, which FBI Director Christopher Wray has testified poses a risk to national security, could face a ban unless ByteDance acted quickly to divest it.

What were after is a separation from TikTok from its parent company, ByteDance, and by extension CCP, the bills author, Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., chairman of the select committee investigating the Chinese Communist Party, said Tuesday as he left a classified all-House briefing about the dangers of TikTok. And in that world, TikTok users can continue to use the platform. In fact, I think it would allow for a better user experience.
U.S. lawmakers and intelligence officials worry the Chinese government could use TikTok to access personal data from its millions of users and use algorithms to show them videos that could influence their views, including in the coming presidential election. Testifying before Congress a year ago, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew denied that the Chinese government controls the app and pushed back against suggestions that China accesses U.S. user data.
Asked about the bill before Wednesday's vote, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said that "despite the lack of evidence proving TikTok poses a threat to US national security, the U.S. has continued to suppress TikTok."
"This practice of resorting to bullying tactics when unable to win in fair competition disrupts normal business operations, damages international investors' confidence in the investment environment, and undermines the normal international economic and trade order, ultimately harming the U.S. itself," he continued.
In writing the bill, Gallagher teamed up with the top Democrat on the China panel, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois, who consulted with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., an outspoken critic of China's human rights violations throughout her long career.
My concern is about what TikTok has done in Taiwan, saying that the Uyghurs love their genocide and the people of Hong Kong love their voter suppression, Pelosi told reporters.
But she added: "We want TikTok to exist; were not here to ban it. Ive said we want to make it Tik-Tok-Toe. We want to make it something that is not a fearful social media platform but one that is very positive. And in order to do that, we have to see the divesting of it from the Chinese government having custodial possession of the data. ... Who controls the algorithm controls all of it. ... It is a national security issue. And its a personal security issue.
The multibillion-dollar social media behemoth's presence was everywhere on Capitol Hill ahead of the House vote. TikTok users got pop-ups on the app urging them to call their local representatives, as well as push notifications saying: "Help stop the TikTok shutdown."
Outside the Capitol, a handful of young House Democrats Robert Garcia and Sarah Jacobs of California, Maxwell Frost of Florida and Delia Ramirez of Illinois rallied alongside TikTok creators to express their opposition to the bill.
Frost, 27, called himself a hell no on the bill and predicted that if the vote had been delayed by a week, opposition would have grown.
JT Laybourne, one of the creators, said he is disgusted to hear lawmakers mocking TikTok and the creators on it because millions of small businesses rely on it.
My voice is on TikTok. My purpose is on TikTok. Thats it. We cant let this happen, Laybourne pleaded.

You're right to be annoyed by that but I suppose it's human nature to be more attracted (for lack of a better term) to people who are more fit and/or healthier and nicer looking.
It also shows that one has the drive and determination to lose weight which isn't easy. That's one thing that's different from being the exact same I suppose.
