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

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.

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).

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

Are LGBT people accepted in Japan?

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

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.”

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.

Were the 1980s as uptight and prudish as movies and TV shows make them out to be? When I think of 80s culture, I think about a very "icky" judgmental yuppie status quo time period.

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

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

How do you see these below?

Why is going on a date today so much different than it was when I was young?

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

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

What are the differences between fuzzy, intuitionistic, and paraconsistent logic? Which one is considered the most useful and why?

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.
