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

How do you see these below?

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

Visual-kei

Whats the rule that makes "please" pronounced the same as "pleas"?

Yaoi

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

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

Do you think there will ever be a movie that features a line such as “You graduated at the top of your class in liberal arts, we need your help”?

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.

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

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

How do I become mentally strong?

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

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

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

This is a real question: Why do a lot of men/boys hate (yes, hate) women that voice their criteria in choosing a partner? Even when the criteria is sane and responsible. Besides it being, sadly, an effective mating strategy, why does it exist?

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 have the so-called “couple culture” seen in many Western countries.

Can it be true that people know your name, not your story, they’ve heard what you’ve done, but not what you’ve been through, so take their opinions of you with a grain of salt?

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.
