That's not the point. The joke in my parents house is that it was "National Pornographic" - not an original joke. You would NEVER seen an unclothed women in Nat Geo today, nor a man in a loin cloth with his dick hanging out, regardless of whether that is their culture. The woke prudes would melt down.
{According to the Society’s official website, one of the magazine’s early milestones came when its publishers decided that from then on out, they would show native peoples as they were, including when photographed nude. In the case of November 1896, that month’s issue included a photograph of a Zulu bride (topless) and groom from South Africa. The message conveyed is that nudity is not necessarily “pornographic” in nature, but that it has a legitimate, academic place when studying world cultures.
Another website goes on to explain, the groundbreaking work of their November 1896 issue was just the beginning of their inclusion of tasteful photographs of nude men and women in their native environments, a tradition that has endured in the magazine when showing people from around the world for well over a century now.}
