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

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.

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.

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

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.

Do you think it is likely that Maegor was presented a young dragon at some point, almost to the point of full-bonding, only to scorn it for Balerion in the end? If so, which one could it have been?

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).

Visual-kei

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.

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