undoubtedly the rape isekai is worse in every metric. The moral panic is the same in my satire. The criticism is clearly more justified for the rape story that has the main character raped and then he rapes others.
You can make a closer comparison to another anime he said he liked, Goblin Slayer. There are child adventurers that get raped by filthy little goblins in it. The main plot isn't about rape or child sex, but it does happen. In your words it has "pornography of children in the source material."
We can go on and critique every degenerate anime that Jim likes (it will be almost all anime). The opinion of our closeted anime fan null is the closest to the standard you are trying to uphold. No anime is traditionalist and almost all of it is degenerate. The same can be said about Video games that Jim also likes and so do most people. The moral panic over Jim's recent decisions continues to be the most entertaining thing Jim has created in a long time.
My point has more so to do with whether or not people would use the content for gooning material as opposed to whether or not it is morally upright or whatever. I've seen the "Goblin Slayer" anime, and while there are characters who get raped, the rapings are sparse and used as a means to convey how awful the goblins are. There are only a handful of rape scenes in total, each one being between maybe 5 to 20 seconds, so if a pervert wanted to use it as gooning material, they'd have to stitch these moments together in video editing software and play them on a loop like 50× to have something usable. If someone told me they only watched "Goblin Slayer" for the story, I'd find it believable. On the other hand, the "Redo of Healer" anime episodes appear to be about 50% sex scenes, with a very thin plot tying them together, which is practically the same format for porn. If someone told me that they only watched "Redo of Healer" for the story, I'd take that about as seriously as someone who says they only read Playboy for the articles. It also helps that, unlike in "Redo of Healer", the self-insert main character for "Goblin Slayer" is not the rapist, but the Goblin Slayer, i.e. the guy going around exterminating the goblins while the story presents him as morally justified because the goblins are rapists.
To put it another way, the "Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise features Freddy Krueger, a serial killer who was heavily implied to have raped his child murder victims. However, none of the child raping is ever shown on-screen, and the most we get are flashback scenes of kidnapped children huddling in a corner prior to being killed, then disposed of in a furnace afterward. It would be absurd to say that people who enjoy "Nightmare on Elm Street" are likely pedophiles based on this, since the pedophilia angle is clearly just used to make the villain appear more despicable.
TL;DR: I'm not moralizing on anime, I'm speculating on whether or not Jim jerks his cancer dick to illustrations of children getting fucked. Since the "Redo of Healer" manga is practically a hentai magazine of children getting raped and Jim professed his love for it on one of his streams, I now strongly suspect that he does.
