STUDY: Response to #CallMeCaitlyn Has Been Overwhelmingly Positive

Meltwater has the data.

One of the more surprising elements of the recent Caitlyn Jenner Vanity Fair story and the lead-up to the star’s coming reality show was a lack of negative reactions in media.

Sure, you had some heckling–but generally speaking, most mentions were positive. New data from Meltwater puts that observation into numerical form.

From June 1-3, the company monitored more than 600,000 statements on the story via Twitter, Facebook, and the dreaded comments sections of related articles.

They found:

  • 72 percent of all comments were positive
  • Only 28 percent were negative

The top terms trending in these positive comments were courage, stunning, bravery and inspiration.
