"creepy" is just a code word for "unattractive" or "awkward"
It's not even really a code word anymore. It's just offensive. And usually when people say it, it's in a judgmental tone, which explains why everyone gets irate about it.
You might as well say someone is fat, old, ugly, or socially inept, using a typically disgusted tone, but people never say those things that way. But somehow calling someone "creepy" is O.K.?
