Open Question: Why do so many people equate having a foot fetish with being creepy?

[feedcrawler]

You can be creepy without having a foot fetish and you can most certainly have a foot fetish without being creepy. BTW I am using the term "fetish" broadly. I am well aware that "technically" a fetish means an unhealthy obsession to the exclusion of all else. What I mean to get at is why are so many people freaked out by the revelation of a foot fetish. They act like we're all pervs.
