Comic Sans

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?

it seems ur just really mad that people dislike something. why are you fighting to the death over a font...
 
Just because you hate one but not the other doesn't invalidate your reasoning. I like New Times Roman because it's straight and neat.

A better reason why I dislike it is because it's just, blah. It's not that it's hard to read, it's that it just looks ugly. It's like with colors, sometimes you just don't like one because you just don't, you can't really explain it. But, yes, it the font is so illegible where you can't read it, then I'd probably dislike it too, but I don't really see that many ugly fonts. Cursive may be difficult to read, but at the same time I don't find it too look "ugly".

Times New Roman has a purpose, though. As it is a serifs typeface, the letters flow much easier and are therefore easier to read. Comic Sans is overused and does not benefit society in any way.

On another note though, I have this to add.

The thing is, people only hate Comic Sans, not any other fonts they've personally seen and personally disliked.
I dislike cursive fonts when they're overly fancy really tiny and used to write long paragraphs. I like cursive otherwise though, and I sometimes write in it. Why do you consider Comic Sans "ugly"?

neutral

but you've dedicated your signature to it

Yes, because other people hate it for literally no reason. Since I'm neutral, I'm trying to show both sides. If other people didn't hate Comic Sans for no reason, I wouldn't be posting in this thread.
 
Going by your example, people who dislike other fonts would also "hate" (likely to a lesser extent) them. How do you know they hate it for no reason? Just because it appears to be the "only" font hated. People in this thread have literally stated that they hate other fonts.
 
guys I figured it out

you can't repeat the same complaints other people have said, regardless of if they're valid or you agree with them

you must make up a new complaint to make pillow bunny happy
 
@people who hate Comic Sans irrationally
