Re: What is creepy?

Creepy is not an exact term, but the way I use it and how I've seem it used is to describereepy things that make people feel uncomfortable - so it doesn't have to be sexual, thought it often can be or there might be sexual undertones to the behaviour.

As an inexact term based on subjective experience, it obviously varies from person to person. However, there are some things that most people would agree are creepy - standing too close or staring too long, on the lighter end of the creepy spectrum, are good examples.

There are other things that indoviduals might find creepy for idiosyncratic reasons. There's nothing wrong with that, but if they try to claim that something is universally creepy when most people think of it as within the bounds of normal behaviour they will probably be laughed at, judged or thought of as strange themselves.

Sexual harrassment in the workplace is an example of behaviour once thought of as normal that enough people eventually came out and said was unacceptable that laws were passed to protect people from it. That behaviour became universally thought of as 'creepy' over a period of time, attitudes changing and the demographics of the workplace changing.

Think of 'creepy' the same as what qualifies as 'rude' - this will differ from person to person and also culture to culture.
