Many K-pop fans participate in what they call \u201cselfie days\u201d, which are a specific day of a month where fans post their selfies alongside photos of their favourite K-pop group on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have a group chat that\u2019s exclusive for plus-sized women, I saw that they were very body-conscious and unsure \u2014 to the point where they felt increasingly uncomfortable participating in the selfie days of the fandoms,\u201d says Tina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, brainstorming with her group chat, all plus-size girls came up with the idea to create this hashtag where plus-sized people in any K-pop fandom could join and see people who are built and look like them to feel more visible.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a little worried about the response that they might get from the social media, K-pop bitches are unexpectedly received thousands of positive comments and tons of curved girls shared their photos to expand this safe space. \u201cI think the hashtag served its purpose of giving plus-sized fans dome confidence and positivity, and a lot of participants said that they never received so many compliments towards their body images in their life,\u201d says Tina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thick thighs DO save lives \ud83d\ude1c <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BigKpopBitches?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BigKpopBitches<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zpYiHvOLGc\">pic.twitter.com\/zpYiHvOLGc<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u273a \ud83c\udd7a\ud83c\udd74\ud83c\udd7b\ud83c\udd7b\ud83c\udd74\u2077\u273a (@2MINMAGIC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/2MINMAGIC\/status\/1260009823925461001?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 12, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption>Girls who participated in the Hashtag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the K-Pop Bitches might be the right way for people to interact online, social media can often be a challenging space. According to a study of 1000 men and women conducted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/online.king.edu\/news\/social-media-and-body-image\/\">Florida House Experience<\/a>, a healthcare institution, 87% of women and 65% of men compare their bodies to images they consume on social and traditional media. In that comparison, a stunning 50% of women and 37% of men compare their bodies unfavourably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media has very dominant hegemonic notions of \u201cthe perfect body image\u201d, according to Sarah Merton, early stages PhD sociology researcher from London South Bank University. \u201cPeople using social media will compare themselves with those misleading images unconsciously, which has a negative psychological influence on people viewing their own body images. That\u2019s why a growing number of young people suffered from body dissatisfaction and body dysmorphic disorder,\u201d Sarah explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"Social Media &amp; Body Positivity\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oEhw655e1TM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Social Media &amp; Body Positivity\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oEhw655e1TM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><figcaption>An interview with the PhD researcher Sarah Merton talking about the impact of social media on body positivity and the booming of plus-size business.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cK-pop bitch\u201d Tina admitted such pressure when she saw the skinny body images of some K-pop celebrates on social media. She says, \u201cI think the strict body and beauty standards of K-pop culture are concerning, and I feel that that\u2019s why a lot of fans begin to feel unsure of themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get rid of such body anxiety, plus-size girls like Tina started to turn the social media battleground into an inspiring platform. Hundreds of curvy girls with sunny smiles posted their photos using the stunning hashtag to empower themselves and created a relative judgement-free space to support each other.&nbsp; \u201cI think social media can either make or break body positivity. But I think creating a space, feed, timeline filled with people who are accepting of all body types and don\u2019t demean anybody definitely helps,\u201d says Tina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the AllGo App founder Rebecca Alexander, social media is more than a platform to empower the plus-size group, but also a virtual community to make the world more accommodating for people of all sizes. Alexander set up the review application AllGo in 2018. It operates like a Yelp to rate the comfort and accessibility of public places, but what makes this application different is that this App is specifically targeted at the plus-size community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a woman wears a size 30, Alexandra knows how daunting for larger customers to eat out. \u201cWhenever I would get invited somewhere new, I would spend hours scrolling through images online to determine whether or not the chairs of the restaurant had arms,\u201d says Alexandra. She always felt anxious and embarrassed when she turned up to a new place that her body could not be accommodated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2004.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7183\" width=\"660\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2004-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2004-293x165.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2004.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7183\" width=\"660\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2004-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2004-293x165.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>The founder of AllGo application Rebecca Alexander.

Diners often comb through endless photographs of restaurant food online, hoping someone has posted an image of the chairs or the space between tables,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/03\/12\/dining\/larger-customers-restaurants.html\">Kim Severson<\/a>, food correspondent wrote an article for New York Times pointed out larger customers\u2019 dilemma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, Allgo App was built to collect larger costumers\u2019 subjective reviews of public places and rate each space online to evaluate how fat-friendly there were. This App not only provides the reviews of food, service and accessibility of public sites like other review application but also collects data of seating options, aisle width, furniture\u2019s size and even the information of whether business\u2019 staff were responsive to customers\u2019 size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cWe want to make sure that we recognize that servers are where they are, and part of our mission is to endear them to our cause to helping them accept people of size,\u201d Alexander told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mic.com\/articles\/189024\/allgo-is-a-yelp-like-app-that-reviews-how-fat-friendly-restaurants-and-other-public-spaces-are#.axgcyZ6vx\">Mic<\/a>. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to troll them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What Alexander does now is expanding this virtual community, asking more users to download the App and to share their photos of inclusively designed spaces on social media with the hashtags #sizeinclusivity or #canweallgo. \u201cThis app is not just for a certain size of people, but for the people who want to make this world more accommodating and habitable,\u201d says Alexander. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AllGo App as a virtual social media community facilitates plus-size people\u2019s lives, but it may never satisfy some plus-sized party animals who eager for the real celebration. What Miranda Kane want to do is turning the virtual group into the offline celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7180\" width=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2001.jpg 665w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2001-293x165.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7180\" width=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2001.jpg 665w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2001-293x165.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Rebecca talked about seating and physical barriers.

She hosts club nights and themed parties at Club Indulge every week, which including karaoke, rock nights, pub quizzes, speed dating and more activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cAt Club Indulge, we pride ourselves on providing non-judgmental nights out for all sizes. We have first-hand knowledge of the kind of camaraderie and freedom you can enjoy when you are surrounded by people who have had the same fatphobic experiences as you. Many of us also know how hard it is to come to these kinds of events alone, after all, our straight-size pals might not get it,\u201d says Miranda with a black volunteer T-shirt printed with the Club Indulge\u2019s cartoon logo&#8212; a sexy curvy girl swings a glass of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This logo image is what Miranda\u2019s expectation of girls who participated in the club should look like. \u201cWe encourage people of different sizes, joining us without worrying about what they look like. Ladies could wear whatever they feel comfortable in, or anything they never had the guts to wear at a normal club. They could build their confidence so much that we may never see them again because they will feel too confident to go any clubs they want,\u201d says Miranda believing offline gatherings for plus-size people could build their confidence and help them meet more friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7181\" width=\"660\" height=\"375\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/life360\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/10\/IMG_2002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7181\" width=\"660\" height=\"375\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Club Indulge provides non-judgmental nights for all sizes.

I want all Indulge events &#8211; including the online ones &#8211; to be about being honest and upfront about who you are, not lurking in the shadows,\u201d says Miranda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From K-pop Bitches to Club Indulge party animals, more plus-size girls are trying to defend the negative influence of social media and use it as a weapon to empower themselves and promote body diversity and positivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media can either make or break body positivity, however, because there are so many people who speak out to fight against fatphobic comments, to make changes for their communities, to love life and love their bodies, so people with different shapes and sizes will create a space filled with people who are accepting of all body types and don\u2019t demean anybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Music on headphones is almost over, but those big K-pop spirits know their battle on social media just started.<strong><br><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do positivity promoters use social media inspire their plus-size community?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":80,"featured_media":7185,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[199,198],"class_list":["post-7175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-body-positive","tag-social-meida"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
