These are dangerous times in Yemen. Whereas you would have been cheered for if publicly went all out against regime in 2011, you may now become target of harassment if even privately whispered disapproval or discontent with current regime (i.e. Houthis) and/or its practices.
This is by no means that accurate and herein telling you overly stereotypical and just putting out there for fun.
A person's stance on Houthis can be roughly derived from way s/he refers to them in a sentence like one below:

A person's stance on Houthis can be roughly derived from way s/he refers to them in a sentence like one below:
"The ...... are now in control of Sanaa."
If speaker refers to them with choices from 1-7 below, then speaker generally fits description underneath choice. ;)
If speaker refers to them with choices from 1-7 below, then speaker generally fits description underneath choice. ;)
Speaker: Oblivious Int'l Media / Excessively Politically Correct / State Media of a certain embassy in Sana'a where Houthis two days ago started parking at with several vehicles that are packed with armed to teeth and trigger-happy 'do you feel lucky, punk?' gunmen.
2- Ansarullah / Popular Committees.
Speaker: Houthi / Pro Houthi / Politically Correct / They Got Guns Yo! Better Be Safe & Just Use Houthi-Approved Terminology.
3- Armed Militia.
Speaker: Anti-Houthi / Moderate Yemeni Political Parties & Activists (Intellectually obligated to say 'Violence is Bad' but not necessarily believing it so) / Agenda-driven Scaremongers Praying on Public & International Fears (Alas! Militia mobs everywhere in Sana'a now and ransacking city..this is worse than Tora Bora & Iraq combined!) / Intellectual Yemenis Genuinely Hatin' on Guns & Violence; Divided into two groups a) disappointed after betting 2011 revolution would bring about a civil & stable state and still hopelessly insisting goal is still attainable b) extreme disconnect with reality & in-denial that state now ruled at point of gun...(Seriously!? This is surprising in infamously gun-cultured Yemen! What cave did you crawl out of?)
4- Armed Iranian Militia.
Speaker: Anti-Iran GCC
5- U.S. Cronies / Ayatollah(Satan)-worshiping Heathens.
Speaker: AQAP / AAS / ISY / Extremely Racist & Insanely Anti-Iran & Anti-Shiite GCC Crazies (Mostly from Saudi Arabia)
6- Houthis.
Speaker: Average Yemeni with a ; "Meh! How's the electricity today? Power on for 14hrs today! Well that's a welcome improvement. Where's my Qat?"
7- Interchangeably using 1-6
Speaker: For lack of other subjects to discuss and/or trapped by question, is now confused being high on Qat and desperately, albeit vainly, trying to have an opinion on current state of affairs.
