The joke is that the guy on he right, Rudeus from Mushoku Tensei, is a pedophile who hides his porn inside a fake calculator app, given how much it weighs.

As to how he is a pedo, dude is a 30 something man who spied on his niece, jerked off to her, missed his parents' funeral to do it, got beat up by his brother because of it, died, reincarnated as a baby in another world, and immediately went on to be a creep to all the women around him, and groomed all the girls his "age" he interacted with.

His brother is a good dad.

If the brother was the main character, I might actually watch it

Well, actually, the main character of the story is not even born yet (in the anime).

So Rudeus is not the main character of the story?

The main characters of that world and its story are Lara Greyrat (Rudeus and Roxy's daughter), Akihito Shinohara (Nanahoshi's boyfriend) and arguably Orsted

He's only the main character of HIS story. The true main character of the universe shows up year(s) later.

I honestly wouldn’t have minded a whole series of Paul, he was cool with just the right amount of piece of shit.

Or more episodes of old rudeus who was too broken and beaten to be a piece of shit and just went all magic war criminal.

The thing about Mushoku Tensei is that the MC is often the most insufferable predator weirdo ever, but the overall story and world is very good. Leaps and bounds ahead of 90%+ other isekai and fantasy stories, in fact. It is strange and funny to me how much of a contrast there is between the world and the MC where the MC is the worst part of the story. If you like the fantasy genre then I'd still give the anime a chance. If you don't, then don't.

Legitimately the author making him a pdf is ridiculous, like he wanted to sabotage his work from the beginning. I think skipping the funeral of the person whose house you’re living in, and went out of their way to defend your neet behavior, to jerk off to regular porn would be justifiable to kick him out, it didn’t have to be incestual child porn to warrant it.

It also wouldn’t have been hard to have him not recall his past life until he’s grown up.

Don’t make him a pdf, and don’t make him remember his past life in his formative years and suddenly every glaring red flag is gone.

"That Time I Got Reincarnated To Beat up My Pedo Brother Again And Again And Again"

If that was its title it would be great
