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

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

Visual-kei

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

I’m worried I have a bat bite on my hand, I have two small marks about 1 cm apart. I haven’t been in contact with a bat but I’m worried about at night. My fingers have a slight tingling sensation and my arm feels cold but isn’t. Am I ok?
