This thing is getting a lot of bad reviews due to the concept of "men benefit from misogyny" paired with "trans men are, in fact, men" causing them to hold systemic power over trans women despite both experiencing transphobia. The way that trans women experience both misogyny and transphobia yields the unique combination known as transmisogyny, basic intersectionality stuff, and this tool being used to mark transmisogynists who despite ostensibly being good on "trans issues" participate in transmisogynistic posting etc has gotten non-transfem people invested in their own perception of inculpability up in arms.

Works well. I always take it with a grain of salt (always checking the person marked). I've used the extension for many years, and have only found a handful of instances where it was obvious as a miss-flag, otherwise seemed pretty accurate. The creator does kinda suck though. Though I don't use Tumblr, so that might be why it's been fairly fine for me. I've heard that it can be pretty hit or miss there as people use it against each other.

What a shame. It was a good extension. What a rotten thing to post

A ton of transmasc and intersex people are getting marked as transphobic which is really weird and bad

Due to the biases of the creator and the inherent flaws in a community driven blacklist, Shinigami Eyes is primarily used to incorrectly mark trans and intersex people as red. It's especially bad with Intersex people, who the developer does not like, and who ergo bear the brunt of being incorrectly marked and then never unmarked. Please learn to recognize Transphobic dogwhistles on your own, this extension will mislead you and actively harms our own community.

creator got involved in some really reactionary transphobic and intersexist terminally online discourse and encourages people to misuse the tool based on that discourse, so it's uselesss now. random people who have said nothing transphobic are marked red for no reason besides someone disagreed with them on the internet over something dumb. it's also super common for intersex folks to be marked red for the crime of existing while intersex. very sad as this used to be a useful extension but if you're not knee deep in pointless terminally online discourse and don't need help navigating said discourse avoid this extension. it only serves to confuse and divide further.

A lot of people are rating this 1 star because they are being correctly flagged as transmisogynists. Shinigami Eyes is working as intended, and they're big mad about it.

Y'all marked a tumblr user who LITERALLY CALLED TRANS PEOPLE R@PISTS AS GREEN! ARE YOU SERIOUS???? And this same person ALSO went on an unhinged racist rant about POC! There are MULTIPLE transphobes marked green, while multiple trans women and trans men and nonbinary folks marked red! What the actual???

Hello. I am transfeminine. I ask you read this review before continuing to read any others.

Many of the people rating this as "five stars" claim transmisogyny and "review bombing."

It is not review bombing. Most, if not all, of the one-star reviews are valid concerns and I have witnessed the things the one-star reviews are talking about with my own eyes. The people giving out one star reviews are not being transmisogynist. The fact that my own sisters in the trans community will claim such of people actually having grievances and struggles of their own is a fact that disgusts me.

Most of the one-star reviews are discussing experiencing "transandrophobia," intersexism, and even racism at the hands of the developers of this extension. They speak of many people being completely, unfairly, and unjustly marked red, and I have seen this happening more and more often, and I find more and more people being marked green purely on the basis of being a trans woman.

This is actually a one-star review, but I wanted to put this here to challenge the people in the 5-star section having the disgusting gall to call our trans siblings "transmisogynist" for the mere fact that they are not trans women themselves.

And if one such reviewer is reading this...

Do better. I know you can. Fix your hearts.

Not something to follow religiously, but does a pretty decent job of letting you know when to take extra caution around certain accounts.

Unfortunately it's currently getting review-bombed becuase a very small number of tumblr transmasc/intersex people got flagged red after repeatedly saying anti-transfem things, and so have been trying to convince everyone the extension has an agenda against them all. I've found it to be pretty accurate though.

good concept, seems useless and even potentially harmful. ive seen wayyy to many trans friendly people marked as anti trans. i've spent the past few hours going through the content of a few those people, trying really hard to find the transphobic rethoric, and instead have discovered a trend, most of said people are intersex or transmasculine. this is strange, and I dont feel like I can trust this addon anymore.

does not seem useful anymore....users/sources who i know for a fact are not transphobic are frequently marked red, and vice versa.

People get pissy when you call a transphobe a transphobe despite their flowery language.

This used to be a convenient community tool for checking the vibes of people (more specifically, whether they like trans people), but over the past year or so it seems to have been caught up in some sort of gender infighting that basically amounts to "white trans women vs bipoc trans women, trans men, nonbinary people, and intersex people". Don't get me wrong, transmisogyny is a real issue and is quite pervasive. But telling white trans women to stop being racist towards black trans women is not transmisogyny, and calling trans men "zippertits" is objectively transphobia. It's very strange that this tool that was once explicitly claiming to protect *trans people* has now shifted to only protect white women.

sad to see what was once a useful tool go down the drain as the current developers attack the voices of intersex people and other trans people. i have seen some of my friends wrongfully marked by this extension despite being trans themselves and never once spouting hateful rhetoric for their trans siblings.

I don't know what's more useless, the flagging of trans men, non binary people, and intersex people; or the flagging of the wikipedia page on the catholic church

Past the point of being helpful

What used to be a SOMEWHAT reliable tool for quickly getting the general vibe became a source of the same bigotry it claimed to insulate from as the people running it revealed their true colours. At this point this is more likely to put trans people at risk of trusting actual abusers than give anyone an actual warning. Disgusting.

Utterly shameful knowing what the developers are actually using this extension for.
