If you have basic information parsing skills you'll be fine using this extension. False positives are real but they can be fixed if more people use the extension lol

this is not useful, easy for misinformation to spread via mass flagging campaigns. it is better to make your own opinions of someone. similar to AI it is not good to outsource your thinking ability.

all negative reviews are by transphobes, mainly transmisogynistic trans men who want to stomp all over trans women and never get criticised for their transmisogyny. a great extension for transfems & transfem allies!

so while yes most of the people leaving negative reviews seem to just be transmisogynists, there are a concerning number of intersex people marked red. im gonna look into this more

fantastic extension. It's very nice if you do a lot of research or news reading. I only wish that someone being colored by it included a little blurb on hover that quickly summarized why they got colored.
Don't be scared by the ratings. From what I can tell, the review bombing seems to be transmisogynists doing the DARVO thing, similar to when white people say "you know, calling people racist is the REAL racism".

this might actually be THE most transphobic extension ever created. like genuinely this thing hates trans people so much its unreal

Look, regardless of your opinion on whether "transandrophobia" is real or not, being transphobic towards trans men is still transphobia and is still bad. There should never be a kind of trans person that it is acceptable to be transphobic towards, and just because you are trans yourself doesn't make what you're saying any less transphobic. A gay person can still be homophobic, a trans person can still be transphobic, and I have seen far too many transphobic trans people marked in green because they support trans women while oftentimes putting down or even parroting TERF rhetoric in regards to trans men or nonbinary people.

Giving it two stars because it served its purpose for a good while and I think it would be disingenuous to pretend it never worked; I have had it installed for years at this point and used to regularly contribute by going into transphobic threads and marking every transphobe in red so others knew and could block them, but I've seen too many false greens by this point, along with people marked red that have never said anything about trans people at all let alone say something transmisogynistic. And I don't want to hear the "multiple reports have to be made to get a red mark" argument, it's known there's groups that target people en masse to get a false flag in amidst the genuine flags. And if you are one of the people saying that all the people marked green are trans friendly, you've either successfully blocked and avoided all the transphobes or you're blind to transphobia directed at anyone that isn't transfem.

Finishing up by saying this tool no longer follows its own rules. It has never been exclusively a transmisogyny detector - it is even supposed to encompass exorsexism (listed as "enby-phobia"). Read the extensions own guidelines (shinigami-eyes dot github dot io) before claiming otherwise.

unfortunately it's useless when you can't see why someone was flagged. a lot of people criticizing anti transmasculinity get flagged as red and a lot of straight up bigoted, enbyphobic, people who hate trans men get flagged green with no way to correct that. I'm very disappointed

Haven't had this extension installed for years. Went to see just how bad it's supposedly gotten and. Yeah they weren't kidding. Tons of trans-friendly blogs marked red, and people who will say the most hateful things you've ever read about a group of trans people will be marked green. It has been taken over by those pushing the new wave of radical feminism with a "trans-friendly" coat of paint. And make no mistake: it is absolutely repackaged radfem rhetoric. It serves only to divide the community and isolate vulnerable transfeminine people.

Works exactly how one would expect it to. If you can understand the tenants of transmisogyny, you should be able to find people who also do on your dash. I haven't seen an unjustified green or red mark since using it.

bunch of gamergate mens' rights activist losers giving this one star because they're getting marked for being misogynists. it's literally the exact same gets-laughed-out-of-the-room misogyny but trans flavored.

if you saw a cis man going around saying "androphobia is a real thing and all these whiny feminists are just making things up" you would rightfully call him a loser and a grifter. but you throw trans in front of two of those words and apparently it's real now? use your brain for 5 seconds rather than parroting terf rhetoric couched in "inclusive" language.

Unreliable; frequently flags the wrong accounts

This extension was originally a great concept, but the database has been compromised by inaccurate reporting. A significant number of accounts currently flagged red are run by nonbinary, intersex, and transmasculine creators who actively promote trans-positivity.

Many users trust this tool to help them navigate online spaces safely, but it's currently doing the opposite by promoting false accusations and internal division. The developers need to step in, audit the database, and establish proper verification protocols.

I highly recommend avoiding this tool until it's properly moderated.

why are all trans men marked red? why people saying transandrophobia isn't real are marked green?

me when everyone who's not transfem is a bigot, but apparently not alexander lukashenko

Installed it to check what all the drama was about, checked only on tumblr.
Reviews claim news articles and such are often marked correctly, which I have not tested and can thus not comment on.

Accounts marked green were a crapshoot between "good trans advocate" and "at bare minimum raising eyebrows with their stances on transmen or enbies".

Meanwhile of all the accounts I follow that were marked red, multiple were positivity accounts for more 'niche' or 'controverse' topics - including accounts for enby-related stuff, xenogenders, or even one that just spreads positivity about all types of plural systems.
At least one of which had nothing to do with transness at all? But I digress.

Multiple accounts that were outspoken about transmasc issues who dared occasionally point out transfems who were hostile towards transmascs were also marked red, despite not being transmisogynistic.

As such, my final verdict:
Either due to a lack of moderation, deliberate misuse by the community, or both, this tool has gone from a good idea to falsely marking innocent users as red for mild disagreements, oft with transphobic intent (how ironic).

I cannot reccommend using it.
If you still decide to use it, at least don't take the red or green markers as definitive - actually check accounts, and consider critically why someone might have been marked green or red.

(Additionally, accounts that praise shinigami eyes to the high heavens whilst unwilling to admit any flaws with it are sus as hell, which is useful when using tumblr as well.)

I don't block anyone without reason and my dash is full of green and empty of red. Even people who occasionally get uindeserved flak are not marked red but remain neutral. I've seen why someone's marked red pretty quickly with rare exception. And the rare exception is just not being sure. People really exaggerate this problem and just don't recognize their transmisogyny. This includes trans women. Oh, I'm also a trans woman since people like to throw that out for extra credibility in these reviews.

unfortunately now a transphobic tool... of course i understand wanting to protect my trans sisters but not at the cost of hurting my trans brothers...
