by Jem, 3 months agoWouldn't recommend using this extension anymore. In the past I've noticed radfem accounts exploiting the "peer-review" bit to get trans people mass-reported as anti-trans/red in an attempt to ostracize them from their own community, so I knew the extension wouldn't last long, but I never would've expected it to be taken over by those exact same people.
I've seen transmascs marked as anti-trans, intersex people marked as anti-trans, BLM supporters focusing on trans PoC - you guessed it - marked as anti-trans, meanwhile accounts who are literally infamous for mocking the suicide of Eden Knight are marked as green/pro-trans. Even people who frequently use the "TERFs please touch" tag on tumblr are green now.
I wondered WTF was going on so I did some research just to find out the extension is run now by gender-essentialist, transmasc-excluding radfems who will mark you as anti-trans if you so much as acknowledge that transmasc or intersex people face oppression, and from what I've heard the developers have openly defended this decision, leaving me to believe it's 100% intentional and not just poor moderation.
Shinigami Eye was never entirely reliable, because you shouldn't rely on a peer-view extension to tell you who does and doesn't hate trans people, but now it's become the opposite of what it was made for. Long story short: this app is useless now and I doubt I'll ever be using it again.
