for me it's not the rpf angle as much as the fact that it means they're probably playing characters they're not actually interested in and they're probably not great at writing them. playing a character just because they have the same face as the actor you're obsessed with isn't a great reason.

+1 setting aside all the other weird hangings of rpf there's also the plain fact that i've just never seen an rpf-fixated player actually provide particularly good fandom rp on dreamwidth lol

no distinct voices or fun use of the characters' individual qualities, they all thread virtually the same. it's clearly just about parading around the actor's face for that player

+1 ime people who do this aren't harmful, they're just boring rp partners

I've run into multiple people who play three or more characters played by the same actor and without fail, none of their characters had anything resembling a personality.
