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

How do you see these below?

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 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.

Why didn't my ex fight for our relationship? He gave up so easily.

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.

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

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.

Why does my crush always looks at me in a sad way whenever I talk with other boys, and if he catch me staring on him then he go and flirt with other girls and then check if I am looking at him?

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

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

What is an easy way to get your driver's license?

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

Visual-kei

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

Have you ever secretly watched someone while they were doing something private?

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

Yaoi

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

Why are daughters mean to their mothers?

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.
