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

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

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

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

Why are there posts saying the T in LGBT should be dropped? With what is happening in the US and beyond against the trans community cause for concern that if this is accepted could it be deemed acceptable to start on the LGB community again?

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

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

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.

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).

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

Sometime ago, the Iranian Minister said that a US Navy aircraft carrier would be an easy target for 300 speed boats armed with Katyusha rocket launchers. Is this true?

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.

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

Why hasn't Japan legalized same-sex marriage?

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.
