If it was a build that otherwise made sense but had dumb equipment maybe, but he played enough to get to level 111 and has 5 spell slots.
Actually I think it might be a combination of both him legitimately not understanding basic mechanics 40+ hours into the game and changing his equipment to be awful.
He has the exact int you'd use for Ranni's Dark Moon, but doesn't have that spell. Maybe he saw someone mention that dex/int was strong, that a build with x int is good, that y staff or sword was good, etc so he copied without understanding why or noticing literally everyone was better in combat than him.
It's possible that it's just all fake. He doesn't even play it but had the screenshot made to generate controversy. I doubt anyone can play with such a shit build for such a long time. It would have been insanely frustrating and based on what I've read about him, he doesn't have time for shit like that.
I doubt it's fake, if he didn't play the game, he wouldn't know enough to tell someone to make him the build of a moron who's played for dozens of hours without understanding basic mechanics.

There's a few ways around that, maybe he has someone to carry him or drop him souls/items.
Or the stats are legit, but he uses different spells and equipment.
The stats would make a little more sense if he used 1 shield and a Moonlight Greatsword and Carrion Sceptor and Ranni's Moon spell. 16 str and 68 int are very specific numbers.
Then for bosses, switch to 2 hand a Commander's Standard for the WA and Ranni's moon will hit pretty hard.
Throw on another Carrion Sceptor, Magic Scorpion Talisman, start with a Frost spell to lower magic resistance, and it can hit like a truck.
That would at least be a viable PvE build, though it could be a lot tighter.

He knows the game is popular as he seems to be an actual gamer.
