Works perfectly fine, all of the 1-star reviews saying they were marked red for "no reason" need to really think about why trans women might find them unsafe to engage with instead of just blaming them outright. The fact that this extension is being reviewbombed by such people really tells you everything you need to know about what their motives might be

i'm a trans man and i find it really useful in protecting myself from transphobic accounts. the "green" rating is functionally useless, but the "red" rating is very helpful

Shinigami eyes does exactly what it's meant to: offer trans women and transfems a way to inform one another who is hostile towards us at a glance. The only time I have ever seen someone mislabeled was when a trans guy downloaded the extension in order to falsely label the ICE website as trans-friendly as part of a misinformation campaign. In other words - the only time that things are mislabeled is when trans men, TWERFs, and other outsiders are deliberately using it to spread misinformation. 99.99% of the time, people are correctly labeled, and really the color-coding of links isn't a replacement for one's own judgement calls or critical thinking. Rather, these labels help us figure out whether a news outlet is biased against us, or if a blogger or writer runs in TWERF circles, and it does this with great efficiency.

Admittedly, I think people mark things as trans-friendly far too lightly, so I don't take green links seriously, but red links are usually correct.

Despite its description painting Shinigami eyes as being used to flag generic anti-trans content, its actual purpose is to flag content that is specifically bigoted towards trans women, particularly transmisogynistic content. This is a common misconception and one you should be aware of, but I still recommend installing it anyway. Please don't forget to mark friendly urls as well as hostile ones.

Many of the negative reviews of this extension are users saying they have been falsely marked as transphobic. These reviews are disingenuous, partly because Shinigami Eyes requires a rather large number of people to mark a url/account as transmisogynistic in order to display it as bigoted to all users, instead of only displaying what you have marked to you. And partly because a brief scroll through whatever social media page these "falsely flagged" reviews mention, will rather quickly turn up bigoted views on trans women.

A fantastic add-on if you're at all concerned about ensuring you're not interacting with transmisogynistic people, websites, or organizations.

While those part of an active hate movement may be regularly review bombing this, every criticism that they have had leveled at the add-on in the past and currently are all easily disproven and factually incorrect, more often telling on themselves and being bigoted towards transgender women than anything else.

Anyone saying that they are being marked "for no reason" have no intersectionality and make transmisogynistic comments without having interrogated that about themselves.

Woah, look at all those "TERFs" and transphobes reviewbombing this plugin! ...not surprised

Anyways, this is a really usefull tool to use both as a trans person yourself and-or as an ally to the trans people in your life! I have used this plugin for many years now.

Genuinely the most important add-on you can have as a trans woman. The one star ratings are transphobes raiding it and trying to ruin its reputation. It helps identify known transphobes online incredibly quick so you know to block and avoid.

For all the reviewbombing and hate from people who would presumably send me death threats on tumblr dot com, ive never seen a user marked as anti trans who didn’t hold some sort of transmisogynistic views. it legitimately never misses. i also like how you can change the colors, i personally like purple and yellow. good extension 👍

It's interesting how an app made by and for trans women, to help easily spot/avoid transmisogynists, is being review-bombed and smeared as a "dangerous" "fascist" app.

And by interesting I mean oh my god you people can't let trans women have anything without throwing a huge hissy fit. Get over yourselves.

people thinking theyre being marked incorrectly are absolutely marked correctly and are just transmisogynist in ways they couldnt even concieve of as bigoted because they are not transfem or they have internalized transmisogyny. this tool keeps trans women safe in ways that a lot of others simply cannot do.

This extension claims to help keep trans people safe, but users of it mark random intersex people red in order to cut them off from community. There are also mental health resources marked red not for trans-related issues at all, but because they are for "controversial" conditions like DID and OSDD.

Signed, a trans woman with OSDD.

I've seem people who post rhetoric that is incredibly intersexist and exorsexist marked green (e.g., arguing that someone who says they are transfem and transmasc are actually just transmasc).

Not to mention any black queer person who dares to be vocal about anti-blackness in the white queer community, gets marked red — regardless of how supportive of trans people they are.

I saw this all the time back when I used the extension on Mastodon. And it's just as bad on Tumblr.

In addition to the above, it's frequently misused on those critical of the use of TMA/TME terms, especially on Tumblr.

Said terms force trans men and enbies to reveal their gender assigned at birth, and ignore the fact that bigots *do not care* if someone is actually a trans woman or not when discriminating against them. "Misdirected" transmisogyny towards a trans man being mistaken for a trans woman can still get him killed just as easily. Yet if said trans man identifies with this term based on real experiences, he is seen as misappropriating it.

The guidelines were very clear on how to label people; green is for people who advocate for trans people. It doesn't require subscribing to a specific subset of ideas within transgender activism.

This extension is arguably worse than useless depending on what sites you're using. If you do use it, do not blindly trust the labels, and do not trust anyone telling you that all criticism of the extension is based in bigotry.

This is a reminder that anyone can submit a label, whether they got angry at someone in a media debate, or meticulously scrolled through someone's profile before deciding how to label them. Do not crowdsource your decision-making.

great extension if you hate transmen
