Looking for a sub that will allow me to make a detailed political rant that will definitely piss people off

For background information I bought a signed and authenticated by PSA/DNA Michael Jackson poster, and I went to tell a “friend” about it since it made me happy but he kept finding reasons for me not to be happy. This is the conversation. Please give your opinion but don’t be rude or you’ll definitely be ignored.

Them: Nah
Them: Lemme see
Me: I’ll take a pic of u want
Them: Yus plz
Me: 🥺🥺🥺
Me: Video
Them: MEOW lol
Them: How much is that in total then? I’m curious…
Me: $1200
Me: I got about $[redacted] of that back though since it was damaged when recorded
Me: Received
Me: I’ll show you the pictures of when I received it VS listing pic
Them: BRUHHHHHHHHH how you gunna get scammed like that when you could just print that SAME PHOTO for like $20 or less?!?! Was it an original print or something??? Please tell me it was.
Me: You do realize…
Them: Please tell me that came from 1984
Me: That’s hand signed by MJ
Them: Are you certain tho?? Did you see him moonwalk over to that photo and sign it? Remember I’m older than you. You know how easy it is to fake that?? That’s probably fake fr.
Me: I don’t buy fakes
Me: Are you familiar with PSA/DNA? The authentication company? I’m guessing you aren’t if you’re so sure it’s fake
Me: If it has the PSA sticker it’s most likely real, unless the sticker is forged
Them: A….I…. you’ve been scammed. Those should’ve only been 300 to 700. You overpaid I’m telling you. Keep in mind you think labubu is worth something but they’re about worth as much as an NFT which nobody remembers. You got frigged over fr fr
Me: What the actual fuck are you talking about?
Them: Je did THOUSANDS of signed photos. Thats why they’re definitely not worth a grand
Me: Good luck finding a reputable authenticated one for less than that, so many fakes of his autograph
Them: Like you just bought
Me: The one I bought is real
Them: Aight take it for appraisal I guarantee you it’s not original
Me: Explain to me how it’s fake if it has the authenticity sticker
Them: Show me again. Your pic expired I can’t see it now
Me: Oml
Me: Are you even familiar with PSA/DNA
Me: Yes or no question
Them: *Sent screenshot of conversation*
Them: Cope lol
Them: Show me
Me: yes or no
Them: Collectibles authentication yes
Them: I’m saying that shit ain’t legit. Show me again
Me: Ok explain to me how they authenticate without googling it since you know so much
Me: Photo
Them: * shows me the corner only * COPE. Fr idgaf you just got scammed. Idc. Go get that shit checked that’s all I’m saying.
Them: Certified bruh moment
Me: I showed you the sticker
Them: Still won’t show the entire thing
Me: I’ll show you the whole thing but I won’t show you the sticker for integrity
Them: SCAMMED. COPE
Me: I shouldn’t have to though, since I know you’re wrong
Them: Who even cares he was as big a pedophile as Epstein and Trump. Fuck him fr
Me: Oh hell no
Me: You’re one of those people who believes that
Them: Starstruck kid.
Them: Bruno probably is too
Me: The person who accused him of that admitted to being coerced into saying that btw
Me: Ok you’re just rage baiting nvm
Them: So why we’re there multiple kids who said the same shit
Them: Why did he build his own personal “park” that only kids went to??
Me: Ur asking me like I knew him personally
Me: You’re just being petty for no reason, you’re angry I got it for God knows what reason …
Me: Yk what, stay mad, idc
Them: Nahhhhhhhhhh aight whatev’s nvm you clearly never heard all those testimonies back in the early 2000’s. He was fr just as guilty as the pedophiles that the rich try and defend now… Oh wait everyone who was famous and rich were pedos. Except the rich guys you like tho right?
Them: Nahhhhh forget it. One day it’ll be never revealed on the Epstein files. You’ll never get it. It’s fine.
Then he blocked me.

I’m pretty frustrated about this and I need to vent about it. I really don’t feel I did anything wrong since I really just wanted to show him my poster but he started claiming it was fake and then saying if it is real it wasn’t worth it etc.

I really don't understand why he got so angry, because I was just trying to show him a poster that made me happy.

it came damaged so I got some of the money back. It doesn't matter how much money I got back so I crossed that amount off, but then he kept telling me it was fake with no back up to it and his only reason he gave was that he's "older than me" (he's 28 or almost 29 and I'm 21) so he knows better even though he's never purchased an autograph in his life and I know that because he told me ..

I also know that he googled what PSA is because I checked and he gave me the first answer that popped on Google after taking a second to respond. I feel like people like this who find reason A B and C for someone not to be happy about something
(in his case A it's supposedly fake even though it's not I got double checked even if it is real B he signed so many photos so it should've only been 300 to 700 also not accurate at all. Michael?? his autograph is worth a lot more than that. if anything I got a good deal .. and C of course he had to bring up the allegations as a last ditch resort to try to make me feel unhappy because he's upset that I bought Michael Jackson poster he has to bring up the allegations that he was acquitted for.

If this guy found out I also purchased a Christina Grimmie, post Malone and Liam Payne one with my own money he just might explode…

Honestly? I'm glad this friendship is over because I've shown this to my friends and they asked me what he does. I explained that he's almost 30 and works at Walmart and they told me he's probably jealous and that’s why he was so angry that you bought a poster because he knows he's never going to get his hands on something nice in his life. After thinking about it. That makes sense.

If you’re ever in a similar situation as I was, please vet your opinion from an expert. If they say it’s real, it probably is. That’ll tell you a lot more than other people can say.

One thing I've learned to though is don't ask Reddit for advice on authenticity. I had people saying my poster was fake WITHOUT EVEN SEEING IT.
It's funny, some people on another sub we're saying that I was being condescending by asking him if he even knew a PSA was and I was justified in that because he didn't even know what PSA was… He had to Google the answer and pretend he didn't know and also because I asked him before he didn't answer for someone who's talk who claims they know so much about what my item is worth and it's so angry about it. I think it was a fair question. I'm so fucking done with people like this if you're thinking that I'm being condescending by asking that look at what he asked. He said well you think Labubu is worth something so was that not being condescending? If you think we’re both being rude that’s one thing though I still disagree, but I legitimately find it crazy that some people thought I should stay there and take the disrespect he gave me over a poster. Of course I’m going to get mad if he’s being rude and condescending. I don't know if those people were rage baiters or trolls. Beats me..
And yes, I’ve gotten it looked at again which I really didn’t need to do since it was already authenticated but for my own sake I did, and found out that he was in fact wrong.

I just feel a good friend would just say "you got a signed Michael Jackson poster? Cool. I'm glad you're happy!" But this guy was needlessly rude , trying to convince me it's fake with no proof and that Bruno Mars is a p*do, also no proof for no reason.. that’s a pretty big claim to make about a huge star with no backing..

He tried to take something positive and make it negative for me and I'm so done. If I share something that makes me happy just say cool instead of trying to find reasons to make me not be happy. I just feel people like him can leave my life for good. If you’re not here to be happy for me like I’m happy for you then GTFO. Anyone who is like this will be blocked before this even happens next time…
