I'd say it's a much more fundamental thing. He needs to play another person before all the labels slapped on him or her, which is almost impossible for these types of narcs.To be able to play a role you need to understand it. Can one meaningfully understand what it’s like to be the opposite gender? Maybe. But Olly sure doesn’t. I would argue he doesn’t even act like a convincing troon, much less a convincing woman.
A very specific example I can think of is Jared Leto in Dallas Buyers'Club.
Entertainers obviously need to have a narcissistic streak and a healthy-ish dose of exhibitionism, but they also need to understand how to portray another person. Olly here lacks both the sheer charisma and the empathy necessary. I'm not very much into these breadtubers, but one thing is certain - Hontra created his characters and sets with a purpose and Olly just copied him without having the same goals and convictions. That always shows.
