From what I can tell, both sides are kinda right here. Not to say my opinion is right or wrong.
But from my perspective:
1a. On one side the artist hasn't done anything wrong in terms of deception. (telling people it was going to be a long story-based comic rather than just sex immediately)
2a. But people are free to review the comic badly because of it on their opinion whether the artist said it upfront or not.
1b. Pushing the argument to absurdity by comparing the artist to Hitler is itself a rather absurd way of demonstrating your point.
2b. But the other side mainly had an issue with the method the point was being demonstrated rather than debating the point being made, even if it was an extreme example. The focus should be on the argument.
3a. People are free to pay for what they want and are not idiots for doing so. It's their cash, even if they spend it poorly in your opinion. People have done worse more wasteful things with more money.
3b. Stretching a comic out over a long period to get more Patreon payments is annoying and something that has become a bit of a trend. While I personally like this comic the artist is indeed stretching it a bit and it's easy to see the reason why. Saying it's gonna be more story focused is fine but 3 comics before sex between the main characters when that's what most people are hoping for is overdoing it a bit.
TL;DR No the artist didn't do anything wrong, but they are stretching out the comic for payments. Many artists do this. People can pay for whatever they like but the comic can still be reviewed badly despite what the artist said or if it costs or not.
Don't have to share my opinion here, just giving my thoughts. A good example of a comic that has a good mix of story and sex, would be Sheath and Knife. Whether you like the content of this comic or not, it does blend the two a lot better rather than just shit loads of teasing and the whole "when will they, won't they" thing that this comic does.
