I've used Shinigami Eyes for years and really have liked it, but there's been an increasing issue with false flags. Plenty of trans friendly people are flagged for seemingly no reason? I've seen many people flagged as anti trans for talking about butterflies (but-terf-lies). I've also seen plenty of people who have been extensively transphobic get pardoned from reports. It doesn't help that there's seemingly no way to provide evidence when reporting so if someone sufficiently posts about something else before getting reviewed, they're can avoid being marked. I'm not sure how this moderation process is working anymore.

This extension used to be really useful. Now, it's marking a lot of queer, trans, and intersex people red just because they disagreed with the creators about stuff like "can intersex people be trans" and "do transmen face oppression" and "is it okay to misgender non-binary people and call them slurs when they annoy you".

I used to very strongly appreciate this extension as a way of letting trans people easily identify transphobes who were actively harmful to our community. Unfortunately it's fallen victim to the all too common trend in our community to segment and divide ourselves rather than working together to keep each other safe.

While I don't mean to diminish the (still very important) conversations regarding inter-community transphobia and failings, it's counterproductive to dismiss and ostracize our own community members. Even if they don't share your opinion on how transphobia applies to one group of trans people vs another, it's important to still stand with them against the people who actively want to eradicate us. Moreover, writing any queer person off as persona non grata is only going to further prevent any productive discussion from actually happening.

Direct discussions about inter-community bigotry are important and healthy. Claiming that trans people are anti-trans for having their own opinion in these discussions is not. I know I'm just some shmuck on the internet and this unlikely to actually get read by anyone doing the mark bombing nonetheless change their mind. But you're actively ruining a valuable tool meant to help us stay safe from the people who hate us. Please reconsider.

And if the Mods of this extension are reading this, consider a new policy for filtering out bad faith reviews, or at least indicating when the label is controversial. I know many trans people who are marked as red, and have been asking for people to refute that rating, but the current system still provides too much weight to whichever side submits more votes, when it should at least indicate the uncertainty.

Trans men and intersex individuals airing their grievances about how there is rampant infantilzation of these communities in our queer online spaces is not anti-queer. The word "transandrophobia" being used to describe the horrible treatment the queer community gives to our brothers is not anti-queer.

Pinning people as transphobes for talking about intersexism is insane. Same for transmascs being marked unsafe for just talking about their oppression.

It used to be very useful. Now I just keep it as a joke.
It allows people that say super transphobic things to be marked as green. I've seen people who use slurs like "theyfab" "zippertits" etcetera be marked as trans-friendly.
On the flipside, it also marks a lot of trans-masculine people as transphobic for just discussing the ways in which they've been hurt by transphobia. The people I've seen are not transphobic, they're literally speaking against transphobia. It is confusing and I don't understand why they're being marked red.
I've also seen a lot of intersex people and intersex activists be marked as red too, even ones that are trans themselves or are very pro-trans. I'm intersex and this concerns me a lot.
I don't understand why it's like this now. It used to be so much more useful, but now it seems like it's been hacked by transphobes or something.
Huge shame.

Shinigami Eyes Is Failing the Community It Was Meant to Protect

Shinigami Eyes is not being “review bombed.” It is being rightfully called out for perpetuating transphobia, intersexism, and internalized community bias. This extension, once a helpful tool for flagging transphobic or unsafe spaces, is now actively contributing to the very harm it was created to prevent.

Let me be clear: I love and support trans women and transfeminine people. My critique is not rooted in misogyny or transmisogyny, but in a commitment to the safety and dignity of all gender-expansive people—including transmascs, nonbinary people (often dismissively labeled as “theyfabs”), intersex individuals, and our allies.

Too many voices in our community are being silenced by this tool. Transmascs, nonbinary people, and intersex folks are being marked red—“unsafe”—not for any transphobic or bigoted behavior, but simply for speaking out about our lived experiences with oppression and systemic sexism. Meanwhile, accounts that promote violence against transmascs and men, deny nonbinary or intersex identities, or spread hate are still being marked green—“safe.”

This isn’t just individual bias. It’s systemic harm. It’s the erasure of marginalized voices within an already marginalized community. And it defeats the entire purpose of Shinigami Eyes.

To the developers and moderators: you must do better. Learn to recognize transmisogyny (sexism against trans women), transmisandry (sexism against trans men), exorsexism (sexism against nonbinary people), and intersexism (sexism against intersex people). These are real, harmful forces in our community. They deserve to be flagged—not shielded.

Trans women are valid. Trans men are valid. Trans nonbinary people are valid. Trans intersex people are valid. If your plug-in claims to protect gender-expansive people, then it must protect all of us.

Until then, I recommend uninstalling Shinigami Eyes—or, at the very least, disregarding the red and green tags and manually correcting false reports. As it currently functions, it no longer serves the community it once aimed to defend.

apparently intersex people fucking existing is dangerous to trans people but terfs are just fine 💀💀💀💀💀

I wish I wasn't having to write this review, but the recent trend in this extension's highlights is pretty clear. It's no longer reliable and frequently flags explicitly pro-LGBT sources/sites as red and notably TERF-y sources as green. Terrible loss for anyone who used it in years past.

Used to be a great tool, but now it's just used by the people who run it to flag people who disagree with what being trans "should" look like- such as targeting trans men who speak out about their experiences instead of shutting up and suffering in silence.

This app was one I used to use all the time, Particularly on sites like YouTube and such where I didn't want to give advertising money to transphobes. However, this app is now being used as a weapon for lateral aggression by people who want to erase trans men and our experiences, and I can no longer support it in good conscience until something is fixed. Trans men get flagged red for talking about the transphobia we face as men, because people don't like it when marginalized people mention situations where intersectional struggles seem to erase (often conditional in these specific cases and that's why it is able to be taken away) privilege, and that isn't okay.

I do not recommend. It marks outright TERFs and radfems as green, and transmascs/men, nonbinary people, and intersex people as red.

used to be useful but turned into hot garbage recently. have seen straight up radfems, gendercrits, transphobes, etc marked green and transmasculine, nonbinary, and intersex people marked red for having the wrong discourse opinions lol.
