Between 2019 and 2022, Greek media attention has been attracted by a rather unusually high number of femicide cases which have been trending for several weeks up to months in the public debate and one of the contributing factors is the feedback loop between traditional media and social media. In this paper we are investigating the use of the term "{gammap̆s̆ĭŏn̆ναιąp̨p̨ąοąp̨p̨ąτονια" (femicide) in Greek speaking twitter. More specifically, we approach the problem from a stance detection perspective, aiming to automatically identify user position with regards to the feministic semantics of the word. We also discuss findings from an identity analysis perspective and intercorrelations with hate speech that have been identified in the collected corpus of tweets.
