Your title of the thread and subsequent rant have no relation. Forks do not make a "chopper" nor do the apehangers you describe in the thread.
I did not write in an angry manner, hence your assessment that my post was a "rant" is uneducated. Not at all unlike my assumption that a bike's fork defines whether or not it is a chopper. The original post WAS being serious, like I said. Simple curiosity about the motivation behind the "look." I see now that it is purely a style element, probably in a similar vein with lowered/jacked up cars.

Yes I have ridden a bike (crotch rocket), but only briefly, and never got into the culture. I appreciate all the informative posts here.
