Depends on the context.
Souls games are more technical than most big games, so it take a couple of hours to learn. Some people have enough drive/time to do this and some not. Once you get exactly what's happening in the combat mechanics and builds systems, it's really not that hard as the meme implies.
While some group of players can feel themselves superior because they learned stuff and like to use git gud seriously, the other will give up in 5 minutes and act like they're so cool because they don't take videogame seriously like those nerds.
I think it's different from something like Battletoads and Ninja Gaiden where the game is just unfairly hard to anyone that didn't know the games by muscle memory alone.
So like, if you bought a Souls game and are interested in actually playing it, you will probably need to learn how stuff works and get how "not that hard" the games are to have an enjoyable experience.
In proper context, "Souls games aren't that hard" could mean "you will get how the game works with some perseverance".
