It should be treated neutrally. Neutrally does not mean that you think it is not creepy, and it also does not mean you think it is creepy. Neutrally means that you try to understand both sides. Understand that the offended party feels a particular way, but also try to inform the offender softly. Try to inform the other party of what they were doing wrong without coming down as the hammer of Thor.
Conversely, when someone comes to me because they hate someone beyond redemption because they think the other person is weird, there needs to be room for the offended party to learn. Is that agreed upon?
