>Why would volunteering to fight them ever be seen in a bad light?

In part, because the YPG is seen by the french state as a terrorist group, for various political reasons, and also because having leftists trained in handling weapons is seemingly more terrifying to the government than having neonazis trained in handling weapons. Make of that what you will.

The French government disbanded various far-right groups that were not "neonazis trained in handling weapons" (last in date was the Identitaires).
