So, if they know you in real life, do they respect you in real life, or do they not?
(Knowing just what you posted, it seems like not, but it's possible for someone to be cool in real life and to be a bag of dicks on the internet, where things seem more like a game and where they can't see the look of actual pain on your face and so maybe they don't take it seriously without an extra clue-brick. In fact I've seen that a lot. In fact, I've even been "that guy" and sat there obliviously laughing and thinking we're all having fun in spite of what ought to be clear evidence that, no, someone else is NOT having fun and is becoming seriously upset. Only after the fact did I look it over and go "Oh shit. Why did I do that? I oughta have my head examined.)
Another possibility is a privilege thing. Someone who consistently accuses someone else of "power tripping" when they're just making their needs and preferences known, may be implying that some people's needs and preferences don't count or are subservient to the preferences of others. Like calling a woman "strident" and "aggressive" for behavior that they see as normal from a man. Only you know whether that particular shoe fits here.
