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

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

How do you see these below?

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.

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
