User reviews

Initially, Shinigami Eyes was a helpful Firefox add-on to identify transphobic users and promote safe spaces for transgender and non-binary individuals. However, multiple users report a recent decline in accuracy, with frequent false flagging of trans men, intersex, and supportive community members as anti-trans. This mislabeling appears to be used for harassment and has compromised the extension’s reliability and community trust, leading many to stop using it. Users urge that the add-on is currently damaging solidarity within the trans community rather than protecting it.

Pros

Originally very useful in identifying transphobic users and safe spaces for transgender and non-binary individuals.
Helped users avoid harmful individuals who might engage in doxxing or harassment.
Provided a community-driven tool to mark content as pro- or anti-trans, aiding in navigation of online spaces.

Cons

Recently has been weaponized to falsely mark trans men, non-binary, and intersex individuals as transphobic, leading to harassment within the community.
Markers and moderation seem compromised or biased, often reflecting disapproval of certain transgender identities or viewpoints rather than actual transphobic behavior.
Lack of effective moderation allows bad actors to coordinate false flagging, reducing the tool’s reliability.
Fosters division by placing supportive trans people in the same category as actual transphobes, undermining solidarity.
No effective response from developers to address misflagging, causing many users to stop using the extension.

A wonder extension! Never been wrong.

Like many of the other people in the reviews, I've noticed that there has been a huge surge of of people marked red falsely--almost all of them transmasculine in some fashion. This addon has become completely useless. It'd need a complete wipe of the database and a team of people working to actually review flags before allowing them through to make it helpful again, which is an enormous commitment. I'm honestly shocked there wasn't already some sort of system in place to prevent this given how easy it'd be for something like a transphobic 4chan raid to completely throw it off if they found out about it. It's disappointing hateful subsets of the trans community seem to have gotten there first but it really should have been expected, operating on the faith system is incredibly reckless when it comes to the online safety of vulnerable communities. Youse need to either commit to doing better, or honestly you need to remove the app. It's actively harmful.

It's very sad what this extension has become. It used to be helpful, but now it's being used as a weapon against certain trans people and it's impossible to tell whether a red link means an actual transphobe, or if it means a trans activist that whomever runs Shinigami Eyes - or the masses sending in reports - personally disagrees with on the details of that activism. Very disappointing things went this way. Uninstalling, of course.

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Shinigami Eyes requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
