Today’s fire at Notre Dame Cathedral incited a culture war on social media with some users mourning an irreplaceable historical landmark and others hailing the event as a literal challenge to hegemonic power structures as put forth by the Catholic Church over the centuries. Using sentiment analysis, we will be able to divide tweets and subsequently users into two groups: supporters of the church and dissenters of the church. The project will call into question the ratio of supporters to dissenters as well as their respective geolocations, genders (https://genderize.io/), and age groups (if possible??? https://towardsdatascience.com/twitter-demographics-user-age-inference-82ad7bf65229). How do these factors relate to ideology? As the online culture wars wage on, content has become increasingly virulent – irony and sarcasm are common tones users take in expressing their disdain. Because of this the project also seeks to understand how irony might affect results from sentiment analysis.
