For those who aren’t aware of it: “Shinigami Eyes” has become far less reliable and in some cases outright harmful due to the creators of the extension flagging people (yes, even trans people) they personally disagree with. One example is the creators denying the existence of intersex people, thus many advocates for the rights of intersex people are now flagged by Shinigami Eyes.
I mean, like, It’s fucked up that “butterfly” and stuff and that advocates for rights of intersex people get flagged, but if you deny the (very much scientifically proven) existence of intersex people, you pretty much just deserve to be flagged
Hey, all 5 people who know about the extension but nothing about the middle east need to have that information, ok?
What extension?
It keeps track of people or entities who are transphobic by marking them red, like in the picture
Huh, TIL about a very specific use case extension. Necessity is the mother of invention and all that.
That color is red? My screen is fucked.
It isn’t very red
It’s more of a reddish-brown tbh.
Maybe my eyes are fucked, but it just looks like a purple hyperlink to me…
It already conflicts with red wikilinks, which are for links that point to an article that doesn’t exist
What? What? Context?
Shinigami Eyes is a browser extension that marks names of transphobic entities on whatever site you’re on red, including the radical islamist organization Islamic State in this Wikipedia screenshot. OP found the fact that it works on well known religious extremists on Wikipedia humerous.
Somewhere, in a universe next door, OP posted a screenshot making fun of the extension for not working on Islamic State.
yeah, that’s possible
Oooooh
…huh.
Considering Iran forcefems gay men because homosexuality is a death penalty and transitioning is halal I don’t think the particular beliefs of radical islam factions is as quite a duh situation as you’d think
i love what a litmus shinigamieyes is, you know right away how someones bread is buttered when they immediately treat it as a freeze peach versus censorship issue when in reality it’s mostly no-duh stuff like this.
sometimes y’dont know and it can be useful tho
I don’t like it because they named it after magic deadname vision, and I worry about it being used on people like Isabel Fall
I’ve completely forgotten I’ve had this extension at this point.
I’d bet my butthole that that entry was written by chatgpt
ChatGPT is trained partially from Wikipedia, so depending on age possible that entry wrote ChatGPT.
You would probably be wrong, but you could look at the edit history on Wikipedia if you’re really curious what it looked like going back before the chat GPT years.
I’m trying to check, but idk how to do this effectively
I found the page, and from what I can tell it looks like it was created in 2023 anyway https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Witchcraft_in_the_Middle_East&action=history
I stand by my wager
You might be right. Either way we can both agree that that first sentence is truly awful.
