| dc.description.abstract | Social media is now a means of communication, information gathering, and interaction.
One of the most widely used platforms is social media X. On this platform, users can not
only share information, but also freely upload various types of content, including photos
and videos. The content published is also highly diverse, ranging from general topics to
explicit content, including vulgar and even pornographic material, without strict
restrictions from the platform. One example is the X social media account of June Liu, a
Chinese adult actress, who has over 1.7 million followers and has become one of the most
influential figures in the digital world. Through this platform, users can participate in
discussions by commenting on each post. In these interactions, affective expressions often
appear and reflect a variety of emotions, both positive ones that show appreciation or
pleasant emotional responses, and negative ones that show dislike or unpleasant
emotional expressions. Affect itself is one of the components of the Appraisal system,
which refers to the expression of emotions in language, both directly and indirectly. In
this study, data in the form of Mandarin-language comments were collected using
purposive sampling techniques and analyzed using content analysis techniques. The
results of the study show that there are two types of affect that emerge, namely: (1)
positive affect with the categories of happiness, security, and satisfaction, and (2) negative
affect with the category of dissatisfaction. | en_US |
