It's very sad what this extension has become. It used to be helpful, but now it's being used as a weapon against certain trans people and it's impossible to tell whether a red link means an actual transphobe, or if it means a trans activist that whomever runs Shinigami Eyes - or the masses sending in reports - personally disagrees with on the details of that activism. Very disappointing things went this way. Uninstalling, of course.

In the beginning this seemed like a good idea with mostly only the community knowing about it but then terfs started using it to hunt down blogs and social media accounts, now all I see are people I know getting flagged despite their support for trans/LGBT people. Either it's terfs taking over the flagging system defeating the purpose of shinigami eyes or a change in the userbase on what they consider trans-friendly. I appreciate the help it gave in the beginning but won't be using it anymore

Unfortunately this is useless for filtering out terfs, because while it does an okay job at identifying obvious Anti-Trans people, it also marks TONS of clearly trans positive trans and intersex people as "Anti-Trans" for really ridiculous reasons.
Mostly it seems to target trans and intersex people that use contradictory labels (or seemingly contradictory labels) for themselves. I don't think it's a great idea to assume how someone thinks about trans people based on the words they use. Since terfs co-opt our terms ALL THE F-ing time.
At this point the extension is no longer a thing that keeps the trans community safe online, but instead a thing that divides us.

This extension used to be good, until it was abused to mark trans people of colour, transmascs, and intersex people as transphobic for no good reason

Nobody follows the guidelines. All it takes to get marked as trans-friendly is to say something like"trans people are okay" and to be marked anti-trans all you gotta do is piss off a specific group of people on tumblr. Used to be good but most of the time I ignore it because it's utterly useless. Besides, transphobes don't tend to hide anymore...

Transfem here, thought the plug-in was useful and was pretty enthusiastic about it, but a quick glance at the reviews has soured our opinion on it. Based on everything being said, we can't believe that this is just "review bombing" or genuine cases of everyone being marked being genuinely "transphobic and trans."

And yeah, unjustified hate against others in our community actually just hurts us too, girlies, funny how that works. It actually just imposes more rules and guidelines on how we're allowed to express ourselves and live, just that it comes from "our own side" this time.

Anyways yeah, sadly wouldn't recommend this plugin, end of story.

Used to be actually useful but I guess most of the people who care enough to use the "tag as anti/pro-trans" feature are just discourse-rotted terminally online people who mistag people who literally Aren't transphobic as anti-trans. What a dissapointment.

This extension used to be quite good. It was very helpful in determining whether a site or a user was safe to be openly trans on, but recently it has taken a nosedive. Trans friendly blogs are repeatedly being marked as anti trans simply because the person running said blog is either intersex, a sex worker, or trans masc. This is an issue that has been brought up numerous times, and yet nothing has been fixed.

I don't recommend using this extension.

Damn shame this extension is no longer usable. Used to be great, but now "being trans the wrong way" is transphobic, I guess?

shinigami eyes taken over by transphobes, cant have shit in detroit

When this extension was first out, it was a huge help in finding trans and non-binary users and knowing what were safe spaces for folks like us. Lately there has been a concerning uptick of trans-men users and nonbinary users being marked as "transphobic" for simply talking about their experiences online. Unless Shinigami Eyes finds a way to not be discriminatory to our trans and nonbinary siblings, I can't continue supporting this extension

Recently there has been a truly concerning uptick in trans-masculine people being marked as transphobic. I checked the blogs this applied to that I saw and none of them had said anything transphobic at all that I could see, the opposite. Most of them were actively discussing intersectionality in a nuanced way that did not show any hostility toward other trans people.

I can only assume there are some very petty and sad people targeting these people and to them I say, please stop this nonsense. This way the extension unfortunately has become unusable to figure out anything about someone's trans-friendliness

I've had this extension installed for many years, but in recent months, every page I've seen flagged anti-trans, with the exception of exactly one violently hateful one and its content, and things like, say, the Wikipedia page for JKR, has been a trans and/or intersex person who uplifts trans voices and practices extensive advocacy - the exact definition of what the extension guidelines define as pro-trans - who also discusses and uplifts intersex issues and voices. Meanwhile, genuine TERFs fly under the radar or are even marked pro-trans. It simply is not sufficiently effective for the purpose it was meant for anymore.

I just kept seeing blogs marked as anti-trans, even though the blogs in question were all about supporting nonbinary identities and didn't have any content that could be considered anti-trans. Even worse, from the shinigami eyes website: "While your overrides are immediately visible to you, changes are included in the publicly visible dataset only if they pass some trustworthiness criteria (including human validation)." What this tells me: people are marking nonbinary people/identities as "anti-trans", and whoever is looking at those reports is either agreeing with them or not paying attention. At least, that's what it looks like. Either way, there's too many cases of blogs being falsely marked as anti-trans, whatever the reason may be, which makes this extension useless.

i used to use this for several years... come to find out now the extensions used for targeted harrassment of trans men + marking intersex as anti trans for additional harrassment. seriously?

I have been a devout Shinigami Eyes user since the very beginning, but lately there has been a consistent uptick in people using it to target and harass people of the trans and queer community which I just can't abide by. Every tool that is used to help trans people is ultimately co-opted by bad faith interlopers and this is just another run of it. Until this gets addressed this extension is useless and a tool of the enemy. Anyone using this should remove it because right now they have made it completely useless putting fellow trans people against one another and putting them in the same category as people like Charlie Kirk, Jesse Waters, Marjorie Taylor Greene, etc all for speaking out against certain racist and misogynistic viewpoints within the trans community and the non-trans community widely.

This extension was useful several years ago, but now it's used to dismiss and attack transmasculine people, intersex people, and transfeminine people who speak up for their transmasc and intersex peers. It does not mark actual transmisogynists or transphobes as red, and is now less than useless.

This used to be a great extension, until it became weaponized by transphobes, especially against trans men, and used to harass intersex folks. The developers are part of the problem and actively propagate the issue.

This is not a review bomb score out of spite, but an earnest and heartbroken attempt to be honest here. I really did like Shinigami Eyes when it was primarily about marking institutions, or just users in general who are genuinely transphobic and wish harm to the entire trans community. It was an indicator to block these people so that they do not perform harmful actions against you, such as doxxing, which is uniquely harmful to trans people since it can out them to their families. It has helped me in the past to block some truly rancid individuals.

And now we're seeing a rise in false flagging against actual trans and intersex people as a means to harass them. In my opinion, while it is entirely possible for trans people to have internalized transphobia, this is extending far beyond the pale. It should not be necessary for me to personally act as a moderator and spend hours unflagging trans people who care deeply about supporting the community and who are themselves vulnerable and in need of support.

We're in an age of sliding backwards into conservatism and we need each other more than ever. This app is no longer serving to protect us. It's gotten to a point where asking for peace and solidarity is enough to be marked as red. If you don't see the problem with this, I implore you to look harder.

This plugin is no longer useful as it has been weaponized against non-feminine presenting trans people.
