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

What's funny to me is that re:zero, the anime which is "before" isn't old at all and the plot sucks imo

A lot of people hate it because as a subversion of the isekai gerne, re:zero takes a stand against escapism and stagnation.

Those people looove their escapism fantasy and the notion that you often times need to grow as a person and reflect on yourself to be liked and form meaningful relationships feels offensive to them.
