RE: Why so much hate for comic sans 10-02-2021, 12:52 AM #13 Yeah comic sansbecause of the ubiquitous and informal use of Comic Sans, it became associated with other bad design elements, "like centered types, or all caps, or underlining" features that make typographers' skin crawl.

RE: Why so much hate for comic sans 11-02-2021, 05:04 AM #14 i don't think it was a terrible font to begin with, but then people tried to pin it as the "fun" font, which really just ruined it. like, i might see something serious with it and it's not even that terrible, but it's almost like a visceral reaction to seeing just the font itself!

RE: Why so much hate for comic sans 13-02-2021, 10:39 AM #15 Because it's a very specific font used in many inappropriate situations. If you like typography I can suggest you the book "Just my type" by Simon Garfield.

RE: Why so much hate for comic sans 14-02-2021, 11:34 PM #16 I think it's one of those internet group-think things where people jump on the bandwagon because it's fun to hate on something and act like their tastes are superior. Like with the pineapple on pizza thing and Nickelback. There are reasons not to love it, but there's not an inherent reason for it to be treated so much worse than other fonts.
