by enfysiridescent, 10 days agoDon't trust Shinigami Eyes. This extension is incredibly inaccurate, and it's only getting worse. Everyone is marked manually by users, and there are many false reports. People who are explicitly trans friendly (including people whose ENTIRE ACCOUNTS are dedicated to trans activism) are getting marked as "anti-trans," while well known transphobes (including people like Ben Shapiro) are getting marked as "trans friendly."

- Rated 1 out of 5by mars, 15 hours agoI'm seeing more and more people who are vitriolic towards trans men marked green while people who are actively trans-supportive and even a local trans activist in my community are marked red
- Rated 1 out of 5by tee, 19 hours agono longer useful for what i had been using it for, as someone who is intersex + trans i'm disappointed in the criteria changes and apparent hostility towards intersex trans people.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17255243, a day agoI've used this app for a long time, and it used to be such a valuable starting point - a 'heads up' to look at accounts carefully - and it felt so good when an account of mine went green! But more and more, I'm finding that red accounts aren't actually anti-trans. Sad to lose what was a useful tool, but if the moderation isn't accurate, then I have to uninstall.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15308834, a day agoFantastic tool for finding and labeling transmisogynists, including the many you can find in these reviews :)
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18748155, a day agoWas incredibly useful for blocking TERFs, but now it is marking random transmasculine and intersex individuals who are just sharing normal shit? As an agender person myself, its super disappointing to see this add-on go downhill and try to divide the community.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Alden, 2 days agoI used it as a jumping off point for identifying transphobes. very useful as a "you should verify this" flag. however, more trans people/trans allies have been flagged as potentially dangerous recently, making it much less user-friendly.
- Rated 5 out of 5by E!, 2 days agoVery useful for identifying transphobic users, including transmisogynists.
- Rated 1 out of 5by SardonicPlague, 2 days agoI think the fact that the five star reviews that are being recently uploaded to combat the complaints being levied at Shinigami Eyes contain anti-transmasc language is almost proof in and of itself that these people are biased. If there are all these one-star reviews saying that you're being biased and all you can do to reply to accusations with more bias, you're probably a bit biased!

- Rated 1 out of 5by nepnym, 3 days agoi remember when using slurs was considered to be transphobic. the current problems are By Design, and have been for a while.
this is a disgustingly sexist terf extension downright lying about being community-friendly. i wouldnt be surprised if it came out in a few years it was a psyop to sow division within the community. this is the material effect it has -- i cant wrap my head around the intent.
the double standard and pattern of the terms on the rules page is, bad, to say the least.
1 star reviews now outnumber 5 star ones.
ill avoid making comments towards the creator, because anything i may say would get this review flagged -- i find the extension itself deserving of a red flag using its original, more fair ethos. the current rules page makes my blood boil.
as note (important): trying to find any further info on the current maintainer, etc, anything/anyone to contact further leads to a lot of bad/weird/harmful misinfo! this is separate and only towards the practice of the extension. there is no minority where it is suddenly appropriate to use hate speech.
i was the first person to open an issue on the gh about this -- so i guess ill stack on to the 1 star reviews, if this helps anyone. i really hope this problem can be fixed because of the large size of the userbase (this extension is even in papers!), so it's sad to see this change.
and -- as an important note -- based off some of the dev responses to reviews -- afab transfem is for intersex people. agab terminology is for intersex people, and appropriating it to exclude intersex experiences is, needless to say, Bad. and its also not trans friendly, because it explicitly, and i cannot stress this enough, excludes a specific Kind of trans person (in a way that is bioessentialist! there's nothing noted about amab transmascs is there? and if there was -- i'd be complaining about that too!).
to specifically flag and exclude afab transfems from the community would be to say that the only trans people who matter are perisex. to only highlight specific hate terms against non-binary and perisex transmasculine people as being ok to use would be to imply that the only community experiences that matter are those of transfems -- and that the only people trans enough to deserve protecting -- are transfem.
anything less than "all trans people" (by demographic) is transphobic. i dont know why we cant spotlight the struggles and oppression against one group without specifically putting down and excluding another group. it speaks poorly of transmisogyny as a concept to use it as a bludgeoning tool to silence more vulnerable members of the community, even those who are transfem. im tired. - Rated 1 out of 5by kanagan, 3 days agousually super useful but ive been seeing a weird amount of people flagged as red that have nothing transphobic on their accounts (a lot of them trans themselves and not the reactionary conservative types either) recently. i don't know if they turned over verification to AI but maybe the system needs to be revised because it's really affecting how much i can trust the extension.
- Rated 1 out of 5by s1llyb33tle, 3 days agoused to be a decent tool, now the moderation team seem to have lost it and are marking innocent people -- especially intersex folk, transmen, trans poc and others -- as transphobic. the moderators are discriminatory and are tearing the community apart; don't trust this extension anymore
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18745061, 3 days agoI used to trust this addon but the recent changes have rendered its point moot. Back to individual manual filtering we go.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18744322, 3 days agoUsed to love this but then they started marking innocent people for sharing their intersex experiences
- Rated 1 out of 5by cirose, 3 days agoA few days ago I uninstalled this extension, and yesterday it suddenly was installed again. And now it says I can't uninstall it. (There are ways to do it, but I can't do it from the extensions settings page like usual). I liked what this addon offered origianally, but it has lost the thread and I will not support their current efforts. Now I have to go figure out how to pull this out of my browser.

- Rated 1 out of 5by minty, 3 days agoI got this extension to identify TERFs, not trans people with heterodox opinions on whether trans men count as oppressed or not. I'm only even keeping it so I can remove these false flags, but I don't recommend anyone download it for any other purpose.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18743572, 4 days ago"transmascs" gotta be one of the most fembrained and sensitive individuals lmfao
- Rated 1 out of 5by gabe, 4 days agoused to be decent, now people i personally know who are trans themselves are getting flagged for talking about intersex issues and transmasc folk. biased developers
- Rated 1 out of 5by marquesa.loving.kitsune, 4 days agowhy are trans men and poc trans people flagged red over talking about their own experiences? why are intersex people flagged red for talking about their experiences?
i thought this addon was supposed to help trans people protect themselves from transphobes but it really is being used to protect only white trans women's and their fragile egos
time to go back to ye olden times (or what everyone who doesn't use their pc for social media does anyways) - Rated 1 out of 5by raybeetle, 4 days agoim very dissapointed in how this extension has come to be lately
