URL: Techies beat each other bloody at fight club
Wow. This is disturbing. I've met maybe five people in my 15+ years in IT that I suspect would willingly attend one of these events. And I am sorry, but I do not believe this is a latent behavior learned from video games nor do I think this is anything close to normal. This isn't about being a man, this is something else entirely. Sparring with a trained karate partner is not the same as bare knuckle brawls for "fun."
I loved the movie Fight Club. It was edgy and a great fantasy. But it was fantasy and nothing more. If I recall, the guy that started the whole thing ended up to be a nut job who killed himself. Not your typical hero.
This, ultimately, is few dozen men in serious need of therapy.
