Hey Pandas, Who Are Your Favorite People In History And Why? (Closed)

History is full of great- and odd- people. Who are your favourites?

This post may include affiliate links.

#1

Harvey Milk. He's a really interesting guy, and a pioneer for queer rights. Most people have never heard of him. I highly recommend looking him up!

Final score:

4points

#2

Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Both female pirates, both raised as male, both badass. They sometimes fought shirtless to show their enemies they were losing against a woman. They possibly started a relationship together, albeit Anne already being with Calico Jack Rackham (although A General History of the Pyrates does mention Anne was "not altogether so reserved in point of Chastity.")

Final score:

3points

The Witch Doctor

#3

Albert Einstein. He was smart, funny, and helped the world. And, as far as I know he didn’t do any bad stuff?

Final score:

2points

#4

Michelangelo. He hated the pope at the time, and it was mutual. To get at the pope, Michaelangelo painted him on the hell side of The Last Judgement. The pope, however, couldn't do anything about it, because he was the only one who could paint the Sistine Chapel.

Final score:

1point

My name is Gabriela, and I’m a Community Manager at Bored Panda. In real life, it means that every day, together with my team, I ensure that all the posts submitted by our creative pandas display their work in the best possible way. I'm always on the lookout for new artists who would like to join our community and share their content with a wide audience. In addition to that, I keep my finger on the community pulse and supervise its activity, ensuring that any problems our members experience on our website are promptly resolved. Before joining the Bored Panda team, I worked as a freelancer, offering my creative services to people around the world—starting with graphic design, photography, and finally videos. Now, I pursue these activities only as a hobby, capturing moments with my cats and documenting new places I visit during my travels.
