Abstract

Many existing studies have focused on the pursuit of thinness as a body display on social media, which triggers body image anxiety and negative emotions among users; however, fewer existing studies have examined whether blog posts about plus-size women’s clothing can elicit body positivity and increase body acceptance among users. Focusing on the Xiaohongshu social media platform in China, this study used Python to collect all comments on the top ten most popular blog posts about plus-size women’s clothing in Xiaohongshu, and MaxQDA was used to analyze these comments in a lexical cloud, as well as to conduct sentiment analysis on the 111 extracted keywords. This study reveals that the content of blog posts about plus-size women’s clothing can create a harmonious and friendly body image communication environment in the blogs’ comment section, which can bring body image positivity and body image acceptance to users. These findings have practical implications for future research in building body positivity in women.
