Discover the Power of Social Media Tools with 'Shinigami Eyes' Chrome Extension

Came across multiple transmasc individuals on twitter marked as red despite being trans and openly supporting other trans individuals. Really disheartening to see that the plugin is heavily abused and has long since passed its prime/relevance.

Obsessed with me o algo

unfortunately i am not red on twitter. gotta try harder to make troons mad ig

i understand that it's hard to prove that someone was undeservedly marked red. i've certainly seen people marked red who i've seen nothing but support & advocacy from but there could always be some secret transphobic post hidden under thousands of tweets that i completely missed so i'll just focus on the people marked green. after a few minutes of using the extension i found - people mocking & posting caricatures in response to trans people posting photos of themselves marked as green - people implying east asian trans women 'have it easier' because east asians already all look feminine marked green - people saying non-transitioning trans people & non binary people are just cis marked as green - people calling a nb trans woman male marked as green - people with 'transmascs dni' in their bio marked green i like the idea behind this extension in theory but even after reading the positive reviews and trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, i cannot in good faith recommend this extension. none of the stuff i've described is emblematic of supportive members of a community and you are unlikely to find kind & supportive people through this extension contrary to what i was hoping for by downloading it

You'll Know There is More to Life Than Your Identity and/or Gender, Right? Not Trying to Come Off as Rude or Negative but It's Extremely Concerning with How Hyper-Focused Some Individuals Seem to be Regarding the Topic(s)... I Understand Everyone is Different in One Way or Another but Personally I Only Care If Someone is a Decent Person or Not. Beyond That, Personally, I Couldn't Care Less.

Shinigami eyes is a extension ran by a homophobic, transphobic, intersexist, racist mod team who hate trans men or lesbians with weird genders. Just so you guys know.

Marks multiple trans-friendly accounts as transphobic just for speaking up against transphobia within the trans community.

A poor example of an interesting concept. Shinigami eyes, in theory could be quite useful, but seems to only cater to a quite small portion of the trans community. I have seen a LOT of pro trans accounts get marked as anti trans because they are transmasculine and/or non binary, and speak up about their personal issues with oppression. This extension has also had a racism and intersexism problem, I have seen accounts that speak up about being Black, with zero mentions of the word trans anywhere marked as anti trans, and intersex people get hit hard by the extension, I have seen more red intersex accounts than anything, and the vast majority have been pro trans. Overall, with everything, shinigami eyes is not all that useful. I highly recommend searching up terms you are familiar with on a persons account and making your own judgement. People are constantly mislabeled and there's nothing that can be done about it.

More accurate than people care to admit because it reveals quite ugly things about them. Speaking as a latina trans woman, it is quite funny to see how often people will decry it as white nonsense, like they'll ever listen to their sisters of color anyways if they don't cater to them. Anyways- let's not waste time and pretend whatever this extension is rated will influence if you chose to use it or not. It could be rated 0 stars and those who will benefit from it will do so regardless of what anyone says.

Not without it's flaw, but an essentially tool -especially for trans women- to stay safe. Kind of wish I could just toggle it to only show friendly or anti but that's a years-long problem as it's been known to flash transphobes with trans friendly, but I suppose that's a wish that won't come true.

This extension is incredibly racist. It is being used to pit the world's most vulnerable people against each other. Black people who have proven time and time again that they are trans-friendly are being marked as anti-trans for the sole reason of being black. Please do not use this extension if you care about BIPOC or are BIPOC yourself.

stop going after transmasc people. stop going after intersex people. stop going after nonbinary people.

I was initially led the idea that this extension was a good way to keep track of confirmed and unconfirmed pro- and anti-LGBTQ+ folk over the web, and, well it definitely *helped*, but admittedly I always had suspicions regarding a few of its accusations. I never thought much on it though. Today though, I was made aware that the extension was being used as a means of targeting anyone who is not transfemme. (more specifically if you are intersex, nonbinary or transmasc, and talk about your trans experiences) Why?? I do not know! But that is hella messed up! As with any controversy like this, I encourage you enlighten yourself rather than just taking my word on this, because one individual will never be able to tell the full tale. But yeah, not a terrible idea for an extension, as I led on. It was nice to have, but it sucks that it is currently being used for such a bad faith cause currently. Likely will not be returning to this extension again. At the end of the day, your own research on an individual will bolster much greater faith in whether one is truly pro-/anti-trans. It is kind of difficult for there to be an end all, be all, so I know it is hard, but you just gotta fend for yourself out there. The best you can. We are all stronger if we choose to follow our own beliefs.

Shinigami Eyes used to be a tool that was, to me, not particularly useful for the majority of the time I've had it, often simply marking obviously transphobic people red and vice-versa, recently however the moderation has gotten better at marking people as anti-trans when they engage in virulently transmisogynistic behavior that can often go unchecked in trans spaces, and despite what some other reviews here may claim it is actually incredibly useful in avoiding a lot of Intersexist, Anti-Nonbinary, and insanely racist people, one only need look at those aforementioned being marked as anti-trans

A good app in theory, but easily abused. If you use it, take it with a gigantic grain of salt and/or do your own research.

This extension caters towards people who are accepting of transfems, and ONLY transfem. It marks anyone who is trans but isn't transfem as a bigot, effectively, and is only serving as a tool to slander people as bigots. Transmasc? Marked as a transphobe. Gender non-conforming? Marked as a transphobe. Intersex? You get the gist of it. Whoever controls the moderation of this extension is waiting for a slander lawsuit.

I've been using this extension for years, very disappointed by the fact that the creator of it is actually transmascphobic, intersexphobic, and non-binaryphobic. I thought I was contributing to something useful and empowering, but turns out it's just more hate. Frustrating and disgusting to see.

As many others have said already, this extension has been used to frame a very specific narrative around what is considered "trans-friendly" and what isn't. It routinely marks anyone who speaks to trans issues outside those experienced by binary trans women as anti-trans, and trans women who invalidates the struggles of other trans people as trans-friendly. There needs to be mechanisms to curb this bias from users who clearly don't see transmasc, non-binary, intersex, POC, and so on as "real trans people".

Upsetting fall from grace. Went from extremely useful tool for trans people's safety to a silencing tool against trans people whom apparently developer/moderator team doesn't consider acceptably trans. A ton of perfectly innocent accounts get marked as "transphobic" for uplifting intersex voices or just criticizing Shinigami Eyes. Unbelievable.

I've used this extension for years but recently keep seeing so many trans friendly creators (who are also trans btw!) being marked as anti-trans. The main victims are always intersex, non-binary, use alternative pronouns, and/or queer POC which is really gross. I don't know if this is because of a lack of proper moderation or because the dev team just doesn't care but either way I will be uninstalling as the extension no longer does what it was meant to. I hope this gets fixed eventually or someone makes an alternative with better moderation.

really helpful. sad that this is getting review-bombed. If you don't like it, just don't use it lol.

It marked someone trans as anti-trans because it said that nonbinary people and trans people are in danger but transmascs and trans men are often overshadowed by transfems and trans women. L extention

Shinigami Eyes Is Failing the Community It Was Meant to Protect Shinigami Eyes is not being “review bombed.” It is being rightfully called out for perpetuating transphobia, intersexism, and internalized community bias. This extension, once a helpful tool for flagging transphobic or unsafe spaces, is now actively contributing to the very harm it was created to prevent. Let me be clear: I love and support trans women and transfeminine people. My critique is not rooted in misogyny or transmisogyny, but in a commitment to the safety and dignity of all gender-expansive people—including transmascs, nonbinary people (often dismissively labeled as “theyfabs”), intersex individuals, and our allies. Too many voices in our community are being silenced by this tool. Transmascs, nonbinary people, and intersex folks are being marked red—“unsafe”—not for any transphobic or bigoted behavior, but simply for speaking out about our lived experiences with oppression and systemic sexism. Meanwhile, accounts that promote violence against transmascs and men, deny nonbinary or intersex identities, or spread hate are still being marked green—“safe.” This isn’t just individual bias. It’s systemic harm. It’s the erasure of marginalized voices within an already marginalized community. And it defeats the entire purpose of Shinigami Eyes. To the developers and moderators: you must do better. Learn to recognize transmisogyny (sexism against trans women), transmisandry (sexism against trans men), exorsexism (sexism against nonbinary people), and intersexism (sexism against intersex people). These are real, harmful forces in our community. They deserve to be flagged—not shielded. Trans women are valid. Trans men are valid. Trans nonbinary people are valid. Trans intersex people are valid. If your plug-in claims to protect gender-expansive people, then it must protect all of us. Until then, I recommend uninstalling Shinigami Eyes—or, at the very least, disregarding the red and green tags and manually correcting false reports. As it currently functions, it no longer serves the community it once aimed to defend.

doesn't do what it says it does because the developers are transphobic towards trans men (transandrophobic) and intersexist-- these groups are flagged red simply for talking about their own issues. uninstall it.

Nice in theory, full of false positives in practice because of abusive reports and lack of meaningful moderation.

Thanks, ill use this to be even more transphobic ❤️

Doesn't do literally anything. Nothing on Bluesky was coloured at all with this installed.

handy and ive seen some results already, a good friend of mine showed up green and theyre very vocal on lgbtq+ rights but basically just some person so it seems to even accurately tag not just somewhat well known people with followings online

extension has seriously gone down hill since it was first made, yeesh. it's pretty much useless at this point given that it (1) hardly colors anything relevant any more, and (2) even when they DO color names red/green, the accuracy & legitimacy is very questionable. it'll flag the obvious, sure, but i don't need an extension just to tell me *famous german dictator* doesn't like trans people. when it comes to allies (more specifically; intersex people, and trans POC???) vs literal TERFs, the flagging system gets really jumbled up.

Shinigami Eyes used to be reliable to protect myself from transphobes and other LGBTQ+phobes in general, however this tool has been abused and used to mass falsely flag namely trans people of color, transmasculine people and especially intersex people who dare to speak about intermisia we face. I'm seeing more and more green-names who are actually abusive transmedicalist radfems who get off on attacking nonbinary people, trans people of color and intersex people. This extension cannot be trusted and I genuinely cannot tell the difference between the conservatives who want me dead and people who are meant to be my allies.
