My reaction to KK varies wildly. He is strong on some topics and shaky on others. Sometimes I find him interesting, sometimes too contrary and increasingly (especially now he seems intent on increasing his profile in the USA) I find him irritating. He wants to be seen as a serious intellectual but is too often goes for an emotional quick fix and still looks like a needy comic looking for people to like him. Hitting out at feminists and especially a left wing feminist like Julie Bindel is an easy win for the tribe he now wants to be part of.
On Twitter KK has made mistakes in the past and has apologised. I hope that before long he will realise his personal attack on Julie was a mistake and apologise. I hope for this but I am not holding my breath!!!
I didn't watch the interview they did with Brianna Wu but I agree that the fact they did it and put out the awful adverts for it on X is a good reason not to take them too seriously. After their first interview with KJK gave them a big boost they made a lot about having a big female and TERF following. For a while they moved on from fawning over trans identified interviewees and actually interviewed some interesting women. Sadly they seem to have gone backwards on this.
