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.

How do I stop someone from forcing/pestering me to become gay/bisexual when I already want to be straight?

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

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.

I was awaken between 2-3am by a voice that said “Hey”. Literally right next to my ear. Sounded like a males voice, but it wasn’t stern or deep. What could this mean?

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.

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

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.

Why do so many people find Kakashi's character so appealing and inspirational?

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).

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

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

How do I run away? I'm 15 and live in Oklahoma.

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

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

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

If English makes 3 additional gender terms to accommodate for XXX, XXY, and XYY people, what would be the most realistic terms for those genders?

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