Negative impoliteness strategy is used to show dislike and disrespect by insulting or ridiculing someone in a straightforward manner. Apart from verbal communication, negative impoliteness can also be found in written forms on social media, such as in the form of negative comments on certain people's posts. Instagram, as one of social media that is widely used by all kind of people in the world, becomes a fertile environment for heated debates, hateful and unfriendly terminology which frequently caused by sensitive and controversial posts that some people cannot accept. Regarding this phenomenon, this study aims to investigate the negative impoliteness contained in Instagram comments by using a theory proposed by Culpeper (2005). This study utilizes descriptive qualitative method in which the data are selectively taken from instagram comments belonging to famous influencers James Charles. The result showed from August 2020 to December 2020, there were 20 negative comments about James Charles including the types condescend, scorn, and ridicule, explicitly associating with others, invading others' spaces, and not treating others seriously. The type of negative impoliteness that is mostly used by Instagam users is condescending, scorning, ridiculing. Meanwhile, negative impoliteness frightening, and indebtedness were not found in the data, because the two types did not relate to the post uploaded by James Charles. From this result, it could be concluded that negative impoliteness which intends to attack people���s negative face are frequently used in either oral or written communication.
