South Park- The F Word

In the South Park episode, "The F word", South Park uses an ontology of postmodernism to critique homosexuality by the way in which bikers (on motorcycles) perform their masculinity. Cartman(?) confronts them when the bikers think that they are being "cool" and calls them "fags" for being loud and obnoxious. Firstly, he uses the term "fag" as an insult which suggests that being gay is a bad thing. From an ontological perspective, it is impossible to have these two identities of being a hyper-masculine biker and homosexual. The bikers believe that the reason others might think they are gay is because they aren't being loud enough. The bikers proceed to make even more noise. The characters eventually lose track of what being a "fag" means and write "GET OUT FAGS" around town. The students don't consider the term "fag" to represent a gay person at all. But when two gay people see the message, they are deeply offended. After the bikers seek a dictionary definition, they learn that the word keeps changing its meaning and that using the term "fag" isn't intended to label someone as a homosexual. Nonetheless, they are offended. The entire episode is centered around the problem with these males inability to perform the identity of a "fag" and a hyper-masculine biker.
