The South Park episode "The F Word" displays ontology of postmodernism to critique homosexuality by excessively using the term "fag." Although "fag" has been used to describe many things, it is associated with a negative meaning. Up until recently "fag" has been used to categorize homosexuals. But South Park is showing the social shift being made by youth today to use the term with not a homosexual association, but rather to describe something they don't like. And since the term "fag" has flexible usage, it is an ideal example of postmodernism ontology in the case of "masculine" Harley riders.
