Comic Sans

[Allycat]

i really don't know why but the font just annoys me. Maybe someone should do a psycology study on why people hate the font so much (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ
Then again i do remember all of my middle school syllabuses (is that a word?) had the font and i always used to use it, so maybe thats why XD

check out this site.

This text is what Microsoft Bob left us. I don't know why they made that OS, because it was redundant when Windows 95 had a better interface.

I never really noticed different fonts before so I had to look at some text with that font. I guess it looks kind of like writing with felt tip markers...

I use azuki font often, and I guess it looks similar to comic sans (if cs is felt tip, then azuki is fine liner). It's just more convenient for me to be able to write in English/Japanese without having to switch fonts.

People who complain about fonts that you can read perfectly fine with no difficulty whatsoever just have nothing else to complain about so they choose to whine about the font.

there's nothing wrong with comic sans. It's not a great font, but it's not terrible either. People just hate it because it's popular to hate and they're too lazy to form their own opinions.

Yes, because hating something that looks legitimately bad means you just want to be cool and can't form an opinion.

There are plenty of other fonts which look worse. At least it's legible, unlike those overly loopy cursive fonts. Please tell me why you think it looks bad.

I always have felt like people are upping their hate for comic sans for the sake of a rant or a joke. Sure, it's not a quality font but why would every font need to be? Let comic sans live, people.

Most people do it unironically, actually. They just hate it so much that it seems exaggerated.

Why would anybody get upset over a font?

I never said it looked bad, but it looks pretty messy and sloppy. It's probably hated more because more people actually use it. I rarely see cursive writing on the internet or even in real life (unless it's intended to be fancy or something). There are reasons why somethings may be more hated than others, you know, and it doesn't mean people hate it for literally nothing or because they have nothing to complain about. It just looks legitimately ugly to them.

The OP asked us what we thought about it.

So we answered.

Now people are mad that we answered what we thought about it?

It looks absolutely goofy to use.

Do you hate any other messy/sloppy fonts? If you do, that's a legitimate reason.
A lot of people agree that Times New Roman looks pretty ugly, yet it's almost never complained about. Why is Comic Sans so different? I guarantee that if a group of people started hating on Times New Roman one day, others would subconsciously follow.
Really? I've seen cursive a lot, personally. Some people I know type out their homework in it for no reason. It's not so uncommon that people would never see it, and it's certainly harder to read than Comic Sans. Yet almost no one complains about it.

Do you actually think that or do you just think that you think that?

The main thing I dislike about Comic Sans is the weird and inconsistent spacing and height of the characters.

 

[Horus]

Pure cancer in the form of a font

 

[LambdaDelta]

the problem with comic sans is purely how ****ing overused it is

in most cases where it just doesn't even fit


so basically, a severe lack of effort in using it, and instead just slapping the font into whatever

No font is better than wingdings though.

or more legible

I've only ever seen it used online and at school. It's used ironically online, and it's used at school because it was created for kids (under 18).
