Abstract

Social media plays an important role in the feminist agenda by pro- viding a channel for denouncing and also inducing support networks. However, hate speech is conveyed in this type of media. Aiming to study this counterpoint, this paper analyzes news commentary on the feminicide attempt of the landscape artist Elaine Perez Caparroz. The approach was carried out with the collection of news and their comments, which were later analyzed using topic modeling, sentiment analysis, correlation analysis of likes and dislikes and the comments scholarly level. The results show that most of the comments share the opinion that it was the fault of Elaine Caparroz, highlighting the chauvinism that still existing in our society.
