Sorry, I was making an obtuse joke about Erika Kirk because my brain is cooked. I don't know anything about Kirkbride besides a little bit of his writing for those series.

He's not, he's a standard "San Francisco wacky hippie left-libertarian", so generally ok with an occasional hyper-edgy take.

Kirkbride has always been pretty quiet about real-world political stuff, and tbh I do get the vibe that he could have some real wacky and problematic views, but his wife Lady N is also active in the TES lore communities and she's really cool so I'd be really surprised if he ever actually went further right than milquetoast progressive liberalism

I mean his most famous creation is an intersex genderfluid sex-worker god who is problematic yet strangely likeable, he can't be a complete chud
