- Rated 1 out of 5by Ani, 8 minutes agoThis used to be a really useful add on I loved it but it has turned into a weapon of discourse with developers who are openly intersexist. Instead of showing you who is or isnt transphobic its just used now to create and in group and an out group and as usual with these situations the out group is almost exclusively marginalized people it is mostly intersex and trans people who talk about their experiences with oppression and how to create proper unity and support between trans people but now they are being labeled as anti trans for no reason this has especially effected intersex people who already deal with lots of bigotry and oppression both within and without the queer community Intersex people and their experiences matter but the people using this extension and even the developer have been openly bigoted towards them and the idea of intersectionality so the extension is useless
- Rated 1 out of 5by artificialdevil, 27 minutes agoGreat example of something that was started with good intentions being destroyed by bad faith actors. Unfortunately being entirely user report based with little oversight means that many trans activists are marked as transphobes due to mass reports by actual transphobes.
This extension is basically useless now. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17897321, an hour 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, 6 hours 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, 6 hours 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 17333420, 6 hours agoIronic, this app try to block eyes from reality.
The homosexuality is not a gender, is derivated to the lust.
No born, no básic need, only lust escalated.
Is very very dificult to fight to this, inmposible to a long time withthrow the help of St Mary - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18710765, 7 hours ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Googly, 7 hours 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, 15 hours 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, 16 hours 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, a day 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, a day 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, a day 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, a day 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, a day 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, 2 days 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 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18708717, 2 days agothank god the devs are finally cracking down on transandrophobia truthers. it's time we finally kick misogynistic trans men out of the trans community for good.
- Rated 1 out of 5by shannoncm4, 2 days 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, 2 days 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, 2 days 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, 2 days 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.
