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

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

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

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

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