It means “one could say that it’s a little square..”
Something being “firkantet” or “square” in danish means that it lacks nuance and/or is seen or done in an overly simplified way.
For example;
“Helt firkantet set er er burger bare en sandwich med dressing”
“Seen from a Completely square point of view, then a burger is just a sandwich with some dressing”
