What percentage is "many"? Everything I've heard about Japan and sex suggests they are actually fairly conservative socially. I find this a shocking claim.

Also, in terms of being socially conservative, I had a really bad experience with a Japanese language instructor. I'm in a wheelchair, and she talked to me like a child, pretended I wasn't there when I didn't drop the class, and actually asked if the wheelchair she saw belonged to someone in the class, in a tone like "they let one of those in here?!". When I was in high school, the lone Japanese exchange student we had took one look at my wheelchair and would never speak to me.

I know, a sample size of two isn't huge, but it was two totally unrelated people displaying the same negative behavior was kind of alarming being the person the receiving end.

Japan being conservative toward sex is a really, really weird stereotype to be honest. I'm used to hearing the opposite from my Chinese relatives where everyone here is some kind of sex crazed deviant (actually that might be closer to the truth). I think the conservative values you are thinking of that many in Japan have are being mixed with American conservative values. The sex industry here is so vast and out in the open.

I think a lot needs to be done to address disabilities here. On paper everything is good and people follow the accessibility laws for seeing, hearing, and mobility disabilities, but the attitudes can be very bad. There is a lot of push by government to promote better attitudes toward people with disabilities, but it's hard to say how well it's working. You see a lot of YouTube comments, etc. on stuff like this by the right wing trolls basically calling it the equivalent of "SJW" stuff. It's hard to know what actual attitudes of most of the public is, because outside anonymous online comments most people are scared to say anything negative in public. It's how you end up with over 90% of Japan having a negative opinion towards China but people only ever say positive things about it around my family. Micro-aggressions (like you mentioned) are usually the best guess you get at how people really feel.
