Uncovering the Magic of 'Shinigami Eyes'
Shinigami Eyes, an extension available for Chrome and other browsers, is a revolutionary tool that enables users to easily identify transphobic and trans-friendly sites on various social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and more. It works by color-coding the user names or site titles - green signifies 'trans-friendly', and red denotes 'transphobic'. This nifty feature has made it a popular choice for the online LGBTQ community and their allies.

Glory to the family, no freaks. From the heart to the sun. I condemn minorities
If you're having trouble with the red being too similar to the dark red "dead links" on wikis, there are other color schemes you can choose like this: right-click>Shinigami Eyes>Settings>Colors (3 color options)>Save
Not actually what it claims to be. It doesn't highlight anti-trans pages red, it highlights specifically transmisogynistic pages red, and is so insanely biased against trans men and non-binary people that even the pages of trans women who are express active hatred of those groups are marked green simply by virtue of being trans women. The creator also believes that terms such as "theyfab" aren't slurs. Overall, just avoid this.
works great, serves its' purpose perfectly! if i were to have any complaint it would only be that the color it highlights transphobic people and pages in is VERY similar to the color for hyperlinks to pages that don't exist on wikipedia
Works like a charm. :)
Very helpful. Also, r/transontario is pretty trans friendly on reddit.
while very handy, I'm disappointed it doesn't flag certain media websites and social media like instagram.
Used to be good and useful for the designed purpose. Over the past month Ive started noticing that commited leftist accounts that are explicitly pro-trans, often trans themselves, have been "losing their green" and "going neutral" for seeming no reason. And then I realized that people are abusing the features to mark accounts as being neutral that are actually vocally pro-trans just for expressing leftist positions like anti-Zionism and criticism of the Democrats/Labor Party/Whatever the leftliberal party in the country is. The breaking point for me was when I saw the Youtuber Shaun had "lost his green" on both Twitter and Youtube. Which is absurd because half his youtube content is about supporting trans people. He's just strongly critical of Joe Biden, the Democrats, and the Labor Party and very principled about it in a way liberal queer people do not like. Unfortunately I have come to the conclusion that the division between liberal queer people and leftist queer people makes is going to be made unusable, especially as the situation in Gaza and upcoming presidential elecitons make those divisions more clear. Disappointing.
Love it! It's really helpful knowing what to avoid and it helps me avoid dysphoric comments and nasty people :)
Pretty good. as someone else said I wish there was a way to see why they are triggered as transphobe/trans ally but other than that its cool i guess
Awesome extension! I'm glad the developer is back.
HORRIBLY inconsistent moderation of flagging. Basically if a person is transgender they will get green text even if they are contradictory supporters of horribly transphobic things, Liv Agar is marked green on twitter, despite being a QAnon supporter and podcaster. If you try and fight against these marks, the extension provides you no ability to add content to your report. You can only mark as pro or anti and press submit. For cases like the above, you can't just flag any one single post and prove it, you need to be able to provide context in a written form, which you can't.
its helpful sometimes, especially in regards to organizations and groups, kind of falls flat when it comes to the labelling of individuals though. for years Ive seen people who are overtly transphobic on one website, get marked as trans-friendly on different one and as far as im aware there is still no solution to this.
Extremely based.
Great extension, tho I wish there was an option to turn off the colored names for pro-trans people and only have it for anti-trans. Cuz like, if someone is pro-trans, then I'll just treat them as I would anyone. But if they're anti-trans, no, get them outta here. (Also the green is hideous on light mode)
Would be nice if they had an option to swap colors, anti trans being blue and pro trans being red. still good tho.
based
I'm going to be completely honest; this extension is really good for showing transphobia, but this has just completely obliterated my mental health because I feel obligated to learn why. I know this is a me problem, but I think it'd be nice if there was a way to avoid seeing the bad stuff like turning off the red marks entirely.
Love the idea, but I checked to see if the tags I added show up for others and for some reason they don't.
Very good
Very cool, shows me possible TWs.
