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

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

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.

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

Why does Filipino culture dictate that parents should be treated as gods?

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