That example is clearly not about mere intolerance of weirdness: people dislike criminals because they're criminals, not because they're different!
Some of your other examples are more borderline; I agree that for pretty much any behavior related to sex weirdness is judged negatively.
Walking barefooted and on all fours are clearer examples of negatively judging weirdness. I wouldn't have expected bare feet to be the worst!
