- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17897321, 5 months agoOnce upon a time this extension was supposed to help us protect each other. Now, with the developers increasingly supporting transphobia and intersexism themselves, it is clear that we need not let a computer program do what a human community can do better. Look out for each other and yourselves, and uninstall this extension.
- Rated 1 out of 5by kingofthelosers, 5 months agoso incredibly intersexist and has gone really downhill. terrible extension if you're a trans man/masc or intersex, would not recommend
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18701492, 5 months agotheyfab and transtrender are terms that originated on 4chan to refer to nonbinary people and transgender men in a derogatory way. they are without any doubt transphobic terms. yet shinigami eyes devs seem to disagree. the voices of transphobes on 4chan matter more than trans men and nb and intersex people to them. dont trust anyone willing to throw other trans people under the bus, theyre more of a danger than anyone shinigami eyes would mark as red. useless addon now.
stay strong brothers. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18710765, 5 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Googly, 5 months agoI once thought this extension was a small, but helpful tool to help me avoid transphobes and threats.
Now, I wonder how many intersex voices I've drowned out, knowing now that the developers of the extension are staunchly against our intersex allies. - Rated 1 out of 5by fhngoisdfjgoidsf, 5 months agoPeople who ARE Transgender are getting flagged as not safe! This add-on is grouping transgender people with transphobes all over identity label discourse, it's sad that one of the only tools to help our community is going to die on a hill that most people (unless they're chronically online) don't know or care about! It's doing more harm than good when random trans women and trans men get labeled as anti-LGBTQ over something that's basically nothing.
Now if someone is marked red, I get a 50/50 chance that they're either a transgender person with a debated over identity or someone that wants to kill LGBT people for just existing! - Rated 1 out of 5by cassettetape, 5 months agoUsed to be helpful. Now it's the opposite. I've seen many trans-friendly accounts marked as transphobic and vice versa. Looking at other people's experiences, this seems to be a result of various harmful attempts to divide our community. In the years since installing this add-on, I slowly realized how unreliable it was. I've learned how to examine accounts/websites to determine for myself if they are truly transphobic, and I encourage others to do the same. This add-on is less than worthless to me now - it's actively misinforming me. I will be uninstalling it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Whoopsie Collective, 5 months agoGreat in concept, but recently has been really inaccurate.
Quite a few people I follow that are trans advocates have been marked red recently for no apparent reason, and I've seen absolutely vile transphobia from accounts marked green. - Rated 5 out of 5by raerdaemon, 5 months agoShinigami Eyes rarely incorrectly flags someone as all flags must be reviewed by their moderation team before they appear for all users. Many reviews are falsely accusing the developers of many things in an attempt to destroy a tool that helps keep trans people safe online. Shinigami Eyes has been wonderful in helping me curate a more trans-friendly online experience.
- Rated 1 out of 5by sanguinemoon, 5 months agogood in theory. however, people who are/advocating for intersex people are being flagged as transphobic by staff, as well as people who believe in discrimination against transgender men. anyone who doesn't fit a very narrow subset of transness or support for transness is marked as a transphobe. this seems to be a tool only for not even trans girls but a very specific subset of them.
i really really believe this tool can be great as long as we get over our personal biases and stop being assholes. splitting others who are hurt from us only harms the whole group. discrimination only helps those who wish to see not just trans people but everyone who is lgbtq+ destroyed.
as a trans girl myself, it's stupid that we even have to talk about this.
only by being together can we survive. don't be stupid and discriminate. - Rated 1 out of 5by wallie, 5 months agoTrans friendly accounts are being marked red for being intersex advocates. Transphobes are being marked green. Will not be using this extension again unless this issue is fixed.
- Rated 1 out of 5by artisticunderdog12, 5 months agoNeeds serious moderation.
I've been routinely seeing folks who espouse transphobic, exorsexist, and intersexist stuff be marked as trans-friendly solely because they themselves are trans, meanwhile, intersex activists and trans POC are marked as transphobic??
99% of the markings also feel solely fueled by whether or not one personally dislikes the person they're marking. I think this could be improved with a requirement to add *why* someone is being marked red or green, but right now, the extension is useless and only being used for infighting. - Rated 1 out of 5by Junowo, 5 months agoIncredibly disheartening to see that this extension is being used as a bludgeoning tool against trans men and intersex people. Even if this was solely a small online discourse it is wildly inappropriate to be marking trans activists as transphobic because you disagree on their nuance on what type of transphobia is "valid".
- Rated 1 out of 5by shannoncm4, 5 months agoThis used to be a useful extension but now the devs have begun to mark trans men, nonbinary people, and intersex people who discuss their issues and rights as red. I've also heard instances of trans/nonbinary POC who've called out racism within the queer community being flagged as well. Very disappointing to see an extension that once offered some safety start aiding transphobia, exorsexism, intersexism, and racism.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18708457, 5 months agoim very disappointed that this extension started marking intersex people and people who show support for them as red.

- Rated 2 out of 5by puppy, 5 months agogood extension for basic terf spotting but is often misused for targeting queer people who others don't like.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18708389, 5 months agoI can't in good consciousness rate this extension 1 star, because it genuinely has been useful to me in the past. However, I've been seeing more and more trans friendly accounts unmarked or even marked red simply for uplifting transmasc, nonbinary, and intersex voices. It would be one thing if this were simply a case of the 'phobes abusing the community mark feature i would be less concerned, but the developers have responded to similar reviews to mine to comfirm that this is the system working as intended, and that many of these false marks were manually placed by the moderation team. This is frankly unacceptable in any application that calls itself progressive, let alone something that has, in the past, been as useful to online safety as Shinigami Eyes.
I'm leaving a two star rating for these reasons. I will continue recommending this extension, but only after a conversation about these drawbacks and how they only further the goals of the very people who make products like this necessary to a safe online experience. It is shameful to see you walk down this path, and I can only hope that eventually the devs and moderators will see the error in their ways and begin working, once again, towards a better world. - Rated 3 out of 5by DC, 5 months agoAfter some thought, ultimately the biggest flaw of this app is that it does not have any transparency. It's essentially a black box that reviews go into, but there's no information regarding any given tag -- what did this person do to get flagged red? Were they calling for the extermination of trans people, or were they misinformed and mildly bigoted? Why is this person flagged green? Are they active advocates for transgender safety, or did they say 'trans rights' one time and leave it at that?
The Internet is a big place, and it's very easy to follow the way the wind is blowing. I think the best use of this app is as a double checking tool, not as the be-all end-all, and what I would most like to see is a community notes feature to explain why any given person is marked red or green. - Rated 1 out of 5by youdon'tcareaboutmeandIknowit, 5 months agoThis extension isn't queer safe anymore, it toxic discourse now. Queer cannot be dicated through cis ideals, and we don't exist to conform to them. But being Intersex and Agender I expect this behavior this app has extended. A safe place for hateful trans people and undercover terfs.
- Rated 1 out of 5by m Siaw, 5 months agoPoor moderation with no transparency. Many intersex and transmasculine people of color are labeled red for talking about intersex human rights, culturally-specific gender experiences, and personal trans experiences that don't center or pedestal transfeminine experiences. Many people who habitually pedojacket, harass, crusade against, and rumormonger ("socially murder") about these same intersex and transmasc BIPOC (specifically using transphobic tactics and rhetoric) are marked green. It's difficult to take in good faith, defeating the purpose of the extension.
Intersex people using intersex-coined, intersex-focused labels and talking about intersex human rights is not a form of transmisogyny. People of color talking about our personal experiences with gender and how they vary with our native cultures is not "aligning our goal[s] with [those] of TERFs," and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the contradiction there with how overtly and frequently racist TERFs are. Asserting that marginalized people talking about our personal experiences is a form of bigotry actively hampers trans liberation. You cannot take transmisogyny seriously if you're putting transfems on pedestals (which is bad in general because transfems are a kind of human, not some special exception) at the expense of other vulnerable community members. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17992858, 5 months agoRecently started marking anyone who is advocating for intersex rights/awareness as well as trans men's as red.
Additionally devs are specifically targeting queer people of color who are calling out white trans people (specifically white trans woman) for racism and intersex people who are calling out the interphobia that's in the queer community.
