by TX, a year agoShinigami 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by awawa, 2 hours ago99% of the 1 star reviews are from pissy mens rights activists who are upset they or their fellow transmisogynistic friends got marked red. It is a good extension for sniffing out transphobia, specifically, transmisogyny. To anyone on the fence, please disregard the reviews from bigots.

- this add-on is actually rlly reliable if you fully comprehend *why* the people who are marked red/green are marked red/green. it's not about whether or not you're "nice" or are "normal," it's about whether or not you're safe for trans people to be around; specifically, *transfeminine* people, as they are the most vulnerable members of the trans community, and anyone who isn't safe for them shouldn't be considered "trans friendly." that's really all there is to it. useful extension!!! although i agree with people who say it would be nice to know why certain people were marked red/green, the context would be useful too

- Rated 2 out of 5by Talon, 11 days agouseful for news websites or social media users, completely useless for tumblr. normal people are often marked red while extremely aggressive people are sometimes marked green. discourse stances shouldnt be a measure on minority discrimination.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19809155, 13 days agothe 1-star reviews complaining about transmasc and intersex people getting marked red fail to consider WHY they get marked red (hating trans women)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17727821, 14 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by mystieneko, 16 days agolots of false flags, intersex people and trans men are almost always marked red while transmisandrists are marked green
- Rated 1 out of 5by thevdsasff, 16 days agoused to use this religiously after it first came out and at first it was genuinely useful. now after discovering i'm intersex i try to go to any community for the topic anywhere and everyone is marked red because our discussions of gender and sex don't 100% align with the mods views (which then gets called transmisogynist, when nobody is saying anything of the sort at all). this includes a disproportionate number of transfems, so the claims that simply being transfem will get you marked green are false. i have, however, seen people get marked within days of making an account somewhere *just because they are posting in intersex spaces*. so do with that information what you will. i personally never plan on using the extension again, i'll vet people myself
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19803232, 16 days agoAbysmal tool if you genuinely care about safety from transphobes. There is a mountain of examples where people who spew intersexist, exorsexist and antitransmasculine hatred 24/7 get to secure their "safe" marking while painting their trans siblings who won't stand for that as the real transphobes.
- Rated 1 out of 5by frak, 17 days agoThe Wikipedia page for gloves is marked green but only in spanish and asturian, this thing has no moderation whatsoever
It also says a lot that most of the recent 5 stars reviews are "you're just mad you're transmisogynistic and got flagged red LOL!" but never address the racism and the transphobes being flagged green complaints that they're responding to
I've also just noticed that the website got updated since when I first installed this addon and lists "theyfab" as a "community infighting" term when I've only ever heard it being said by TERFs. It's an enbyphobic slur and it's clearly transphobic - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17409768, 18 days agoThis extension- as many others have already pointed out- is no longer accurate or curated in any shape or form. I've used it for many years now, and I just keep catching false flags, especially on tumblr. Not worth the download in 2026

- Rated 3 out of 5by Spider-Man, 21 days agoI wish there was a way to see why someone is marked as pro or anti trans. Like a quick description "Posts hateful comments on twitter" or "Regularly Advocates for trans rights during live streams"
- Rated 2 out of 5by rani, 23 days agoWhile at times very good, the community-sourced data on tumblr is prone to bad information from TERFs, false flags from petty infighting, and racism. Often, a trans-friendly and specifically transfeminine blog will be removed by community flagging for having affiliated with any other blog that does not subscribe to specifically radical transfeminist theory. The review process simply cannot keep up with the type of flagging system it has. I also still have concerns over how in the past, attempts to flag exorsexist and otherwise 'truscum' blogs were thrown out, and concerns about exorsexism as a form of transphobia were dismissed for potentially muddying the water in flagging transmisogynists. I'd honestly rate this app at a 3 were it not for its claims of being concerned with transphobia or anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments as a whole, when many reviewers and users will tell you that the extension was always only intended to report transmisogyny.
- Rated 4 out of 5by OscineAves, 25 days agoDespite what other reviews will say there's very few false positives or false negatives if you're a regular person engaging in regular circles.
It won't be a problem unless you engage in chronically online discourse, in which case you can easily use your critical thinking skills to determine for yourself whose on your side and change them to green for yourself. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19304457, 25 days agoon a lot of websites it seems fine, but its completely useless for tumblr. anyone supporting trans men gets marked red.
I don't know why other reviewers are saying this is false, I guess they don't use tumblr?
