Social media as societal microcosm: A decade of LGBT Twitter conversations in Singapore

Our findings highlight nuanced emotional intensities, profiles undertones of LGBT dissent and support, fractured along a schism of differing views and contrasting opinions-a societal microcosm of a divisive topic. Practically, this presents a decade-long barometer of dominant trigger points that may help facilitate conversations on the affective concerns of the local population.

Abstract

Our findings highlight nuanced emotional intensities, profiles undertones of LGBT dissent and support, fractured along a schism of differing views and contrasting opinions-a societal microcosm of a divisive topic. Practically, this presents a decade-long barometer of dominant trigger points that may help facilitate conversations on the affective concerns of the local population.
