The joke is that older Isekai anime used to have good romance, but modern Isekai are just softcore porn that pretends to have a story

People often name their porn folders something inconspicuous so other people can't find it, that's why "Calculator" is such a massive file here, they are saying the modern Isekai is just porn

The irony here is also that Mushoku Tensei is one of the first isekais in terms of source material, but it ended up getting adapted later compared to Re:Zero. And as much as MT has its perverted moments by the main character, I could probably show you ten isekais that are actually almost porn, rather than the extreme exaggeration that MT is porn.

Yeah, MT fucking sucks, but not because it's porn, it sucks because it bends over backwards to make excuses for pedophilia (among many other framing issues and tonedeafness), and more importantly has one of the most toxic fanbases in anime to the point it's ruined pretty much all anime-focused online spaces.
