I mean there are worse fonts, like Papyrus. Also comic sans was created to combat dyslexia

Simply. A lot of bad uses. There's no bad profesional fonts, there's a lot of bad uses. Font express too like colors or forms.

it's the same reason people love to hate on nickelback - harmless and fun, even great if you consider the context, but ubiquitous and inescapable. then come the associations (comic sans = childish, nickelback also = childish, lol) and then the cultural backlash. comic sans is a great font for kids learning to read and people with dyslexia! nickelback really isn't a bad band and are extremely commercially successful! just one of those things that everyone loves to hate

to be honest i think the dyslexia defense is an excuse and a pretty bad one. i'm dyslexic and comic sans definitely doesn't help me anymore than times new roman does.

Just seen as a 'meme' font, kind of hard to ever recover from that

because it was just so good that it grew into an overused joke
