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.

Yaoi

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

Can you give an example of a documentary where the person telling the story believed it to be true, but it turned out to be false?

Visual-kei

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

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).

Why am I always so tired and I don't eat enough?

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

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

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

Why does my 5-year-old daughter keep repeating the words 'they will come for us, they will find us and touch us'? I'm quite scared.

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

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

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

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

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.

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.

What traits are considered unattractive? Which traits are typically seen as attractive and why?

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