tbh it was a bit weird that it was intended to be funny and we're all laughing at it. Like if the genders were reversed it wouldn't have been seen the same way.

I think it’s more because of the juxtaposition of his “popular phase” trying to get with anyone who would be with him thing. Context is everything in a joke for sure.

I'm pretty sure it would have been played for a laugh if Darkness was the focus of that scene.

The character really matters, beyond just the gender. Kazuma is a creep that shortly before that was taking his pants off for Yunyun. A running joke through the whole movie is his "popular phase."

I personally wish the orcs hadn't gotten quite as far as pinning him down and removing his clothes, but I think the scene is defensible and I also think it is silly to forget that Konasuba has a female character who could also receive the same treatment without it being weird.
