discriminating towards intersex people is NOT hot

Extremely dissappointing that they've marked intersex inclusive people and transmascs as anti-trans. This app has become completely useless.

This used to be a good extension and has saved me a lot of headache for months. However, as of late the creators seem to have lost their way and are transphobic themselves. I mostly use this extension on tumblr where I've seen people speak up loudly for the intersex community and trans men only to get marked as red. It's despicable that this is happening to people and only dividing us further apart. The rise of one star reviews are well deserved and if you value supporting your trans family, give this extension a pass because it does not reflect the values it pretends to uphold.

Wrongly marks trans friendly, intersex people, POC struggles, etc etc, or any person the moderators disagree with as red. It's a shame such a useful extension has been corrupted by hate, in times when we should all be standing together. Shame on mods.

I've seen a lot of discussion about this extension online recently, so I wanted to make a review giving my thoughts on this.

As other reviews have stated, the creator is liable to flagging intersex advocates and people who are anti-transmed as transphobic. There have also been incidents in the past where transphobes have worked together to create false flags.

At its core there is an issue with tools that either label people as good or bad with zero context. You don't know if someone who's transphobic on a tool like Shinigami eyes -or even blocklists for that matter - is on there for harassing trans people, is on there because of an intra-community disagreement, or a blacklist creator or submitter personally decided to put them on there for an unrelated reasons. These types of tools can be used to isolate people from their community and smear names.

I truly do understand why people flock to a tool like Shinigami Eyes. We are a group of people that are burnt out of being in danger and having to deal with harassment and want a way that we can easily know who to avoid. It sounds great in theory, but in practice, these types of issues are always liable to happen whether it's with Shinigami Eyes, a curated blacklist, or the callout of the week.

The best you can really do is curate your online space. Check people's posts yourself before you follow them, quietly block whenever you see something you want to avoid, and don't over rely on face-paced social media.

Keeps marking random Tumblr users as transphobic because the creator disagrees with them.

They're in desperate need of new moderators who won't abuse the power to push their own agendas outside of the stated scope.

useless, as people speaking up about transmasc, nonbinary, intersex, poc issues get wrongfully marked as red, and those who actively are transmedicalist, radfem are flagged as green. yikes

sadly useless now as there have been numerous incorrect/inconsistent markings, including TERFs behind marked green and wikipedia articles for things like plants being marked red.

Was great until intersex transphobia from the moderators

Lately it's been kind of inconsistent on the sources marked red ACTUALLY being in some way actively transphobic when it's on social/public platforms. Sometimes when I follow up on a marking it's accurate, and other times it's not at all. If certain sources simply went uncategorized that would make sense, but there have been multiple trans people marked red but confirmably not supporting any notable transphobic rhetoric (eg.transmed, transradfem).

The fact that its guidelines say that bigotry against asexual and aromantic people doesn't count as "anti-LGBT" should have been the first clue that this extension and its devs would start excluding other people too. Now it's marking intersex people and trans men with red just for speaking about their experiences. Skip this extension and do your own research.

Frequently misused for admins' own bigoted views. Useless.
