Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Promotion of a combative sport? Isn't boxing a combative sport?

Maybe they thought slapfights were too silly. I certainly do.

Happy birthday, Aimée!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Promotion of a combative sport? Isn't boxing a combative sport?

Is boxing allowed in New York state?

eta: or the promotion of boxing as a spectator sport?

If you think round's funny

Promotion of a combative sport? Isn't boxing a combative sport?

My understanding was that the event required a license, which they did not have. Less clear is whether event involving might fists of quit it need a license.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Is boxing allowed in New York state?

Yes, it is, but as Chupacabra notes, you have to have a license from the state boxing commission.

I'm just gonna be more interested on their take on their own work, and find it more genuine, than the dude writing that he knows what's in Joss' head

Well, sure, so would I. I'm not saying the author's perspective isn't interesting and valuable. It's just not appropriate for the kind of writing we're talking about.

Hmm, I always thought postmodernism was a direct off-shoot of semiotic which was the origin of the "myth of intentionality". I could be confusing it with something else, though.

Now you're just trying to scare me. And it's working. It's sort of pop deconstructionism; the practice doesn't always match the theory. If I search a text for evidence of sexism, I'll probably find some, and when I do, I'll assume that the author put it there. It's how people think. I mean, if postmodernists truly believed everything, including postmodernism, was relative, they'd be a lot easier to deal with.
