How conservative the Japanese people really is? And the government?

They don’t bring around their mates everywhere, which means they don’t worry about being single, gay, or whatever because no one cares about whom others are having/ not having sex with.

How do you see these below?

It’s very common for a girl/ woman to ask a boy/ man to be her boyfriend.

What did someone say to you that instantly made you realize their life was in danger?

We don’t instantly tie it with sex when a father and his very young daughter are taking a bath together.

In the old era, gay relationships were very common and were even praised among the privileged social classes, such as Samurai and monks.

They were very similar to the bromance of today but accompanied by sexual intercourse.

Why do US military soldiers/officers have a chest full of medal ribbons when they probably haven't been in a combat situation? Are the medals for attendance, good behaviour, or long service perhaps?

I sometimes feel people from the West are obsessed with those “gender” and “sex” things too much. Let’s think about something else sometimes. It’s unhealthy.

This is a very vague question. But considering the asker’s comment on Mr. Nakajima’s answer, your interest seems to be in sex-related matters (I don’t think it’s the only indicator of conservative/ progressive, though).

They don’t tease or beat up cross-dressed people on the road.

When sharing a wife, is it best with your buddy or a stranger?

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

Yaoi

I’ve heard it’s always the male side that is expected to take a move in some countries. It’s not the case in Japan.

How can parents identify and address early signs of racial bias in young children?

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

Visual-kei

They don’t have the so-called “couple culture” seen in many Western countries.

What's wrong with white women?

They don’t have the value that “guys must be macho.”
