It was at one point overused, but I don't hate the font.

People pretending to be amused by a font was a low point for internet humor.

I used to use Comic Sans back during my days on mIRC and I don't mind it, but also it can be used inappropriately/unsightly.

It's okay but should not be used in any professional setting

Anecdotally I've seen it used in official rulings and government documents and yeah it was yikes... but they're documents from a time when government was switching from typewriters to computers.

It looks silly which makes it bad for anything professional or serious.

I never really understood it. Is the font supposed to be seen as comical or not serious? Either way, just shrugged and moved on.

Fuck that. If it's good enough for CERN, then it's good enough for anyone.

Repulsed is way too strong of a word. It's just a font? Why would I notice/care?

This is my feelings on it. Professional settings should have a clear defined style guide anyways.

Comic sans is goofy looking for sure, but it has actual, real uses(such as it's legibility) I really think people who HATE it are kinda....dumb
