Other way around - the left-wing magazines (actual magazines, not Kbin communities) I'm talking about praising the Houthis very much are "America Bad Russia Good" types.
Can you just provide some sources so we have context as to what you are talking about?
Some puff pieces:

https://www.liberationnews.org/who-are-the-houthis/

Bonus non-puff pieces, providing an outside (if hostile) look at the ongoing process of the Houthi 'rehabilitation' in some circles:
