Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.
The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

She was a real piece of shit whether she paid for those iPads or not.

Do you have a source from someone who isn't trying to sell me a book? I mean, she was world famous. She met millions of people and pretty much all of them say she was an amazing person.
I remember people were mad that she didn't make the effort to go to Princess Diana's funeral (they met several times and were friends) only for it to turn out that Mother Teresa died around the same day.
I never met mother Teresa, so I don't have a first hand opinion. But, "she was a jerk, according to my book - you should buy it" isn't a winning argument.
Check out the sources linked in the criticisms part of her Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Teresa#Criticism
Ok, I've done that. Let's see if I miss anything:
I can't believe I wrote all that. I've gone from being 'eh' on this argument to starting to think it's similar to that dude who set out to show up Mr. Rogers as being undeserving of his reputation.
Your first point is already a misrepresentation of the criticisms. If you don't go in with an open mind, of course you will come out with your previous opinion.
