I agree that as soon as one leaves the game world and starts making and viewing fan art, there's no longer a forced connection between anyone and Max's perspective. At that point it becomes an open-world free-for-all.
That said, Eric's just as creepy as Max. The game isn't played from Eric's point of view, so we miss out on a lot of what he's doing while we see every little bit of Max's scams. But remember, Eric is caught peeping as well (and masturbating while doing so). He's also trying to completely prostitute one potential daughter by trading moneyed gifts for sexual interactions. He's forcing a second potential daughter into hands-on sexual lessons. He's both bribing and blackmailing a potential son to not report/interfere/mention any of it, and to supposedly help. And that's not even bringing up the fact that his identity is supposedly completely fake and he's a potential felon on the lamb and likely running some massive confidence scam on both the family and his place of business.
By all means, keep all the art of whatever variety still coming. And keep making up new story lines down lots of different avenues. But I'm not buying that Eric is some stalwart pillar of the community (he's simply had more time on this earth to perfect his devious ways, while Max is only now trying to learn the ropes).
