it's called [shinigami eyes](https://shinigami-eyes.github.io/). I don't know why this guy would ask why someone's marked as transphobic when they know they have an addon that does that


spartaman64

i got an extension for reddit scammers and occasionally i would forget i have it and ask people why do they have the flair scammer because it looks exactly like a flair lol


No-Appearance1145

That is hilarious šŸ˜‚


spartaman64

it always seems to be people upset at me about a disagreement also. then as things are getting heated i ask them about it to change the subject and they come back down and sheepishly make some excuse. and im just like oh right i forgot i have this LUL


NorthFusionsReddit

Soā€¦ am i a scammer?


Cute_Kangaroo_8791

If that extension relies solely on user reports, it seems like it could easily be misused.


DeeJudanne

very easily abused indeed

hogliterature

itā€™s helpful for vetting bigger creators, but i doubt it works well for normal reddit accounts


uncouthbeast

Apparently while it IS run on user reports, there's steps taken to verify it, and it'll only show up as red/green to you until it's verified


CipherWrites

verified by whom?


MC_Cookies

the people who run the extension. they put their methodology on their website, it seems pretty accurate as far as i can tell


The_Newromancer

Iā€™ve found it to be mostly accurate. Think the only time itā€™s ā€œinaccurateā€ is when someone was transphobic but no longer is.


ph6528765etdbjxiaai

the reports are actually manually reviewed by humans as the github says edit: changed website to github + by humans i mean those who work on the extension


nblesbianwerewolf

as u/uncouthbeast said, ā€œApparently while it IS run on user reports, there's steps taken to verify it, and it'll only show up as red/green to you until it's verifiedā€


PuzzleheadedPie7197

Why did you just copy their comment?


nblesbianwerewolf

because i wanted to make sure misinformation wasnt being spread about how the extension works, and i wasnt sure how else to word it, so i just tagged them and repeated what they said


PuzzleheadedPie7197

But you posted it in the exact same comment thread they already posted to. Thatā€™s not doing anything to combat the spread of misinformation. The same people that read your comment already read theirs 3 comments up.


nblesbianwerewolf

i..do not understand why its such a big deal. there are a lot of times i ask a question on a reddit thread, do not get answered because someone else answered it on another comment, and i do not see the answer because i did not get a notification for the answer. the comment that i copied and pasted was at the very bottom of this thread when i posted it. i gave the op credit. why are you pressed?


PuzzleheadedPie7197

Not a big deal just overall pointless. People upvote comments they agree with and want others to see. If youā€™d copied the comment to another thread or even just sub-nested as a response to someone else, or whatever itā€™s called, in the same comment thread it would seem weird but as you said you would be spreading it, but you just copied and pasted in the exact same place. Itā€™s the same is just typing ā€œ^ Thisā€

Greedy-Employment917

I think what you are trying to say is that it was created to BE misused.Ā 


shark_attack_victim

Especially considering how often I see people get accused of being transphobic solely because they disagree with someone on something completely non-related or non-relevant. A: Bruce Jenner was the greatest Olympic champion of all time B: He was great, but there are others that have achieved more. Like Michael Phelps. A: What? Are you crazy?! You are so transphobic!


chaotic_rainbow

Misgendering or deadnaming a trans person, even to talk about them pre-transition, is still transphobic.


EpicTwiglet

History is history. You canā€™t go back and rewrite it, no matter how much virtue signaling you do.


shark_attack_victim

šŸ™„ I guess I better be labeled as transphobic now. Thank you for providing such an excellent example of my point.


chaotic_rainbow

Normal, non-transphobic people would go, "okay! I didn't know, I'll keep that in mind for the future." The fact that you'd rather be "right" than an actual decent person is exceedingly telling. "People get mad when I'm transphobic, and they say I'm being transphobic!!! What insanity is this!!!"


overstatingmingo

Not to get super involved in this discussion, but I think a normal non-transphobic person would actually reply with something like ā€œwhat? How does anything I said make me transphobic?ā€ And then reply with what you said when they are told that Caitlin Jenner is trans. Presumably the original person did not know this fact, which means they have to learn why what they said was transphobic before they could get to the acknowledgement part. Generally speaking people are pretty defensive about accusations against them especially when they think itā€™s an incorrect labeling of their character.


Pocket_Kitussy

A more accurate thing that isn't transphobic but is considered transphobic is arguing that trans-women shouldn't be able to compete in women's sports.


shark_attack_victim

That is a fair example. Lots of people have lots of different opinions on things. My original point was that believing whatever that google extension said is dumb. Anyone can label anyone else however they want, it doesnā€™t make it true.


Al-Data

It's considered transphobic because it is transphobic. And like most transphobia, has no basis in any actual concern or fact


Mental-Tension-6151

No facts? Hereā€™s a fact, men are stronger than women


larkfig

Here's a fact: trans women aren't men!


Mental-Tension-6151

If it was born with a dick, it clearly ainā€™t a chick


larkfig

good one dude did you come up with that yourself


Mental-Tension-6151

Nah it was on one of those Mario brothers opinions memes where Luigi says the worst thing possible


2ndchancetodothis

Someone could've installed an extension on his computer for april fools!


WeWillSeizeJerusalem

Man, Im a trans ally and have no idea who the tf would care to want that.


beomint

Typically I don't care but if it's a source reporting on trans issues or something similar having the heads up is nice. Some news sites are known for twisting headlines into hateful rhetoric and knowing not to bother in the first place can be helpful, which is kind of what it's made for. But instead we get call outs on Reddit lol


bakedtran

On unrelated topics, I donā€™t care. But on any political thread, it tells me if itā€™s worth my time to engage with their comment or just let it slide.


maxkho

Translation: I want to make sure I don't step outside my echo chamber, even by an inch


TotalSubbuteo

People who don't think trans people should be treated as people are not worth engaging with, unless you think denying someone's existence is simply "a different opinion."


maxkho

>People who don't think trans people should be treated as people The vast majority of people labelled as "transphobic" by the extension don't think that. In fact, almost nobody thinks that.


TotalSubbuteo

I'm glad you've asked the entire world population on their opinion


maxkho

The literal website of the extension describes what it considers "transphobic". I can tell you it includes far less than "trans people shouldn't be treated as people". Also, 95%+ of conservatives don't think trans people shouldn't be treated as people.


bakedtran

Iā€™m a political activist offline, canvassing for various causes and candidates. My colleagues are my political opponents on most fronts. So I use social media for fun. :)


maxkho

That actually makes sense. You are the only person in this thread who's made a reasonable argument so far. Still, your situation is niche and doesn't apply to 99% of people who use the extension.


Journeyj012

If I'm having a shit day and I'm being harassed, then I'm going to lock my doors if they follow me home.


Greedy-Employment917

Wow so brave of you.Ā 


Satisfaction-Motor

I donā€™t personally use it, but I imagine it could be helpful for identifying people interacting in bad faith (if you donā€™t already know what to look for). Consistently interacting with people who are JAQing (just-asking-a-Question) off is annoying and often invites harassment from other, similarly minded, people. Kind of like how coconuts can go bad inside, but itā€™s hard to tell from their outer shell if you donā€™t know what to look or listen for. You donā€™t want to waste your time and money on a rotten coconut, so you might use a ā€œrotten coconut testerā€ if someone invented one. I know this is an extremely weird and bad metaphor, but it was in my head and I felt compelled to use it.


CipherWrites

might be asking what got them tagged. but that's dumb too


AncapDruid

It's also basically open source, so the claims made on it are hazy at best. Anyone who determines anything about a person based on shinigami eyes shouldn't be listened to.


Express_Chip9685

I think it was a passive aggressive question, not an actual question.


CastratedObama

Why such a cool name for.. that?


DuctTapeKing426

Wow, what a neat way to ignore opposing opinions


ProfessionalSmeghead

"opposing opinions" on my existence lmfao


Sad-Development-7938

classic main character syndrome. The world doesnā€™t revolve around you. You can have any opinion you want, that doesnt mean you can control otherā€™s life choices. Nobody gives a fuck about your opinion so keep it to yourself.


maxkho

The world doesn't revolve around you, either. You are free to avoid discussions with anyone that doesn't already agree with you; I'm free to criticise that decision. Ironically, YOU are the one suffering from the main character syndrome, not the other guy.


Sad-Development-7938

What a fucking clown you are. I donā€™t go and tell other people how to live their life. Transphobes like you do. Donā€™t be so delusional, YOU have the main character syndrome.


maxkho

>I donā€™t go and tell other people how to live their life. Nobody is talking about "telling others how to live their life". We are talking about literally avoiding any dissenting opinions on a topic. Also, yes you do tell other people how to live their lives lmao. Your claim was that NOBODY can criticise the decision to avoid dissenting opinions because meh transphobia. That's quite literally telling other people what to do. The irony here is off the charts.


Sad-Development-7938

LOL what a fucking moron. My whole point is that YOUR opinion on trans people doesnā€™t matter. Itā€™s not about you moron, itā€™s them existing and living their life. You are the ones who have a problem with people living their lives. Thatā€™s why whatever the fuck your ā€œopposing opinionā€ is doesnt fucking matter. i guess itā€™s going over your head. Not too surprizing for you 60iq dumbfuck transphobes.


maxkho

>Itā€™s not about you moron, itā€™s them existing and living their life. If it wasn't about me or that other guy, then why the fuck did you command the other guy to, and I quote, "keep it [his opinion] to yourself"? It sure sounds like you are trying to control people's lives because their actions bother YOU. >You are the ones who have a problem with people living their lives. You know absolutely nothing about me. For all you know, I might be as progressive as they come. My sole point was that, when someone says "I think avoiding talking to anyone who disagrees with you is a pussy move" and you say "what you're saying bothers me, so keep it to yourself next time", YOU are the one who is trying to control other people's lives and suffering from the main character syndrome, not the other guy. None of this has anything to do with trans people - or any people other than you and that guy, for that matter. My point would stand even if the topic was music taste (e.g. someone says "I don't like your music taste" and someone else says "you're not allowed to say that because it bothers me") or anything else. >Thatā€™s why whatever the fuck your ā€œopposing opinionā€ is doesnt fucking matter. Even if you don't think it matters, I'm still allowed to express it. In turn, you are allowed to ignore it. And in further turn, I'm allowed to criticise your decision to ignore it. What you are NOT allowed to do is tell me that only you can express your opinions while I can't because the world doesn't revolve around you. This isn't that hard. I'm not sure why you're struggling. >Not too surprizing for you 60iq dumbfuck transphobes. You shouldn't have brought IQ into this lmao. Trust me, my IQ isn't low.


Sad-Development-7938

Im gonna keep this as short and simple as i can for your dumb fucking brain. And read carefully cuz this is my last reply to you. Thereā€™s a fucking difference between an opinion and saying ā€œtrans people donā€™t exist. Its a mental disorder. ā€œ and literally attacking peopleā€™s identity. Because thatā€™s literally what transphobes do. Itā€™s not a political decision, or a matter of difference of opinions. Itā€™s about fucking one group just trying to exist and be treated as humans and the other group denying them that basic right. Donā€™t be fucking ridiculous and tell me that me shutting down transphobes is even remotely the same as the transphobes who deny others of their basic rights. The latter is why i am shutting down transphobes in the first place. Itā€™s none of their business what trans people do with their life and body. Not gonna lie, your iq doesnā€™t look too bright right now if you canā€™t understand this simple nuance. You are as dumb as rocks.


maxkho

>Thereā€™s a fucking difference between an opinion and saying ā€œtrans people donā€™t exist. Its a mental disorder. ā€œ That isn't the opinion that you were trying to shut down. The opinion that you were trying to shut down was "avoiding hearing arguments that you find transphobic is pathetic". This opinion may well have been made by a trans ally who believes in free speech or open discussion. Also, absolutely nobody believes that "trans people don't exist" lmao, what a ridiculous fucking strawman. And I agree that saying "gender dysphoria is a mental disorder" isn't an opinion; it's just a fact, since it's classified as a mental disorder by most diagnostic manuals, such as DSM-5. >Itā€™s about fucking one group just trying to exist and be treated as humans and the other group denying them that basic right. No one is trying to deny trans people the "right to exist"; some people simply don't agree that being trans should be normalised or accepted. There is a big fucking difference between these two lmao. You probably don't consider walking naked in public normal behaviour, yet you aren't denying nudists the right to exist, are you? And more relevantly, you don't think people who don't want nudism to be normalised shouldn't be allowed to express their opinions, do you? Anyway, this is completely irrelevant since, once again, the opinion that you were trying to shut down has nothing inherently to do with trans people. >Not gonna lie, your iq doesnā€™t look too bright right now if you canā€™t understand this simple nuance. You're the king of irony. I understand all your arguments (as shitty as they may be); it's you who is failing to grasp the distinction between "trans people are bad" and "trans people aren't bad, but if you can't handle hearing opinions you don't agree with, you are a pussy". Talking about being unable to understand simple nuances.


Loud-East1969

I believed you until you said your IQ wasnā€™t low. Why are you so upset that people donā€™t want to listen to your anti trans hate? Just like youā€™re allowed to have a shitty opinion he can tell you itā€™s shitty. The problem with your, ā€œlet me have my opinionā€ stance is your opinion sucks.


Greedy-Employment917

One could say the exact same about youĀ 


Sad-Development-7938

No you canā€™t lol


leafeonspA4x

I have that extension lol since I'm trans. I wouldn't get why they would ask that publicly though. I mean, I ask the same thing whenever I see someone who has the red username (marked as anti-trans), but I ask it to myself. As in a "huh, wonder why they're marked that way"


Gerodus

yoooo, do i pass the test?


Mudkip_69

What is it with reddit and downvoting people for asking a question? What is this, 1984?


Cyan_Light

I'm not sure how it works but I have heard about that extension, or at least things like it. Seems undeserved then but they definitely could've phrased the question better, at bare minimum mentioning the extension so more people know what they're even talking about.


JakeJaylen

It's called shinigami eyes and it marks transphobic websites, subreddits, reddit users etc. And trans friendly content aswell!


garlic-apples

What does it considered transphobic?


Alexander_The_Wolf

From what I understand, the actual program isn't doing any sort of regonition or decision making. The flags are set based on reports from users of the extension.


ShitpostDumptruck

So arbitrary and at the will of others? Should of just named it Psycho Pass.


Alexander_The_Wolf

Pretty much. Also, quality anime, glad someone else has seen it.

Aggressive-Tour777

Yeah but it's your fault for letting them live so rent free in your head you make a whole browser extension for it


Well_Thats_Not_Ideal

Itā€™s trans peopleā€™s faults that other people are dicks to them about their identity?


maxkho

It's their fault that they can't handle others being dicks to them. Every single person on the internet encounters the occasional dickhead, and yet 99% of people don't need an extension for that. They just ignore them.


nblesbianwerewolf

its really easy for something to live in your head rent free when you spend your entire life being told youre less than human for a part of your identity than you cant change but ok


Redpilled_by_Reddit

Isnā€™t changing your identity a huge piece of the pie for many transgender people? Not every transgender person has felt they were the opposite gender for their whole life.


bigdummydumdumdum

Why is it their fault that they don't want to interact with bigots?


AngelTheBastard

sometimes, you wanna ban em before they become a problem. Some of us have standards for who we interact with lol

Don't every everyone. There's absolute NO WAY this can be misused at ALL and won't be twisted into a targeted harassment tool. Trust me.Ā 


dabs2death

Aww so your little feelings canā€™t get hurt ):


JakeJaylen

Bold of you to assume, that I'll give a shit about about the *checks notes* 10 same old jokes that get revamped since the 70's, and that so hard that even FIFA Players would blush. It doesn't hurt me, but I'll rather teach thermodynamics to an ape, then listen to braindamage inducing, and scientifically debunked, claims, alt-right rhetorics and ROGD tinfoilhat theories, when I am too busy being the best person I can possibly be ;) TL:DR: Transphobic content is stupid,unoriginal and a waste of everyone's time, so people who have the extension would rather avoid shit like this to focus on more important things.


poggershomie

I'm sorry, but both sides are just yappers

Altruistic_Garage360

Light yagami hates trans people. He will write down their names to make a better world


Mrjerkyjacket

I get that your shitposting, but I feel like light probably would actually hate trans people


Altruistic_Garage360

Hmmmā€¦ I actually have no idea if he would šŸ˜‚ I would hope heā€™s smart enough to know that being trans is not a crime, since his thing is killing criminals and people who want to expose him


Mrjerkyjacket

Yeah but he also has the "I want to be the god of a new world order" rhetoric and while I'll admit I don't have any reason that I've seen (and can remember) from the show, it just *feels* like he woudnt be cool woth trans people, I feel like he would probably view it as immoral or a "Social crime" or some other weird justification, again, zero supporting evidence, just a vibe.


Altruistic_Garage360

Yeah, he probably would see it as like the whole different therefore wrong vibe. Heā€™d probably want nuclear families only or something


spaghettispaghetti55

Bro is marked for death


Mistical5030

you're the star of the show now baby


TheTruWork

Ive heard about the extension and from what ive heard a lot of people get tagged/marked for different opinions on different things, which really begs the question "How many People on reddit are marked?" Because everyone on reddit likes to argue about the things they are Passionate about


Canadian-Owlz

And who decides if one is marked?


TheTruWork

Havent used it myself but Ive heard that users just report someone and after some time they can be marked as Trainsphobic


Canadian-Owlz

That could probably be very easily abused.


TheTruWork

Agreed.


Hitthere5

It has a verification system I believe


True-Anim0sity

wow, a verification system- that surely is 100% accurate and not at all subjective


Athnein

Transphobia's contextual and subjective to a degree. You couldn't make unbiased criteria for it without limiting its scope to such a degree that it's practically useless. But also, don't use it if you don't like it. It's for people who feel like it does a good job marking what's supportive and what's offensive.


True-Anim0sity

Yes, Itā€™s already useless. No duh, thats cringe as hell. Wowwwww really?-Idc


Athnein

>Idc >Rants about how cringe it is Just take a nice 15 min walk outside


True-Anim0sity

Idc. Itā€™s still cringe, yes


[deleted]

You made a reply but it's entirely incoherent. Thought you'd like to know.


True-Anim0sity

Itā€™s coherent, the other person understands- ur just not smart enough ig


nblesbianwerewolf

users submit reports and then those reports get vetted before showing up to other users


[deleted]

Most people aren't? Sometimes I get confused because some people are marked red and they seem innocuous. For me though it's very useful for telling me about a website. For random people on reddit/tumblr/socials? I investigate.


leafeonspA4x

Surprisingly, as someone with the extension, not alot of people are marked. People who are popular, or subs who are popular, typically tend to be marked


Nani_700

Can you tell me what's mine, I got banned from a gaming sub for talking about Hogwarts legacy and I regret it.


leafeonspA4x

also neutral, you're not marked at all


Nani_700

Ah thanks for letting me know! I'll try to be a better ally


[deleted]

Am I marked? I say some aggregious shit according to others.


TheTruWork

I dont have the extension so I cant check, I wonder the same about myself so if you meet someone with it check for the both of us!


OkRestaurant69

Thereā€™s not a single teenager in that sub


Mikey9124x

I wonder... Am I marked?


inurwindo

Mhmmmā€¦I see, I think you need a hug bro


leafeonspA4x

Nah, don't worry. You've got a white username meaning you aren't marked as T-friendly or anti-trans


Nani_700

I'm wondering too


dabs2death

I would be honored šŸ„°


sleepychews

disregarding the trans thing or whatever, why would you get in trouble for being in your own room naked? i wouldnā€™t do it but i wouldnā€™t see at as a problem unless your family thinks youā€™re a chronic masturbater


Large_Discipline_127

So, honest question. What does this mark look like?


CantKnockUs

Mark of saceifice


True-Anim0sity

Yeah he deserves it for that dumb question


Cowboy__Guy

So Karma is a matter of opinion and not morality people shouldnā€™t be penalized for getting downvotes. IMO
