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.

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

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.

As a NATO/Ukraine supporter, since you're so blown away and angered by Trump putting Zelensky in his place yesterday, why don't you support the Ukraine by joining the Ukrainian army? There's 200,000,000+ of you. Put your money where your mouths are.

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.

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 so-called “couple culture” seen in many Western countries.

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

What are some other ways to respond to someone saying "thank you" besides "de rien" or "vous êtes bienvenue"?

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

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

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

What is love?

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

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.

What kind of pleasure do gay men get from being bottom? The idea is very appealing to me but in practice it's quite painful.
