I've recently seen a lot of hate for comic sans, EVERYWHERE ON THE INTERNET
is there a reason for it beside internet random humor or something? I've searched for it but all I find is more posts about how it sucks and should be banned

I think you mean "Why does everyone eat comic sans?". We do so because it's tasty, and part of a balanced breakfast.

OT: I dunno. What, are you a fan or something?

ate comic-sans

It's a founding font that, for the most part, would look ugly on a resume. Plus it's been used in comics for over...oh...70-80 years.

This is relevant I think.

Sorry, don't have much else to add to the thread as I have better things to hate than a font. Also I love linking that rant =P
that link was awesome.

on topic: I personally think comic sans is an amazingly useful font in the right location. what annoys people is when someone uses it in the wrong location.

well at least it's not as bad as jokerman.

It's because it's overused and most often in the most inappropriate of places. Usually by people who have absolutely no concept of design aesthetic. I personally don't mind it myself, but rarely ever use it.

Becuase it's been used so often in inappropriate places and blah blah blah.
I like comic sans.

My chemistry teacher's powerpoint was written all in comic sans today.

Because it's deli- oh no, too overused already...
Darn it.

Uh...
Because, it is my personal beleif that hate for comic sans is replacing racism, homophobia, sexism etc...
The more people that hate comic sans, the better the world will be.

Uh, I don't eat fonts OP, that'd be weird.
Well I dunno about you, but I find Arial and Impact to be quite tasty. Also, this isn't a chan, stop greentexting. /joking

OT: Well, just look at it. It's just all-around unprofessional compared to most other fonts out there, yet it's overused in business environments.

I love how Comic Sans has become the font of choice for every passive-aggressive sign in existence.

It's a little known fact that the creator of Comic Sans committed suicide after discovering he accidentally created the greatest font in existence. After increased exposure to it, he became jaded and pessimistic, knowing that no human being could ever hope to top his magnificent creation.

His suicide note was also written in Comic Sans.

Because it's unprofessional and doesn't make any document worth reading. It's not a good font for prose, and it's not a very good font for headlines. Which leaves... nothing.

Currently, crisp, angular sans-serif fonts are in style. Think Futura, Verdana, that sort of thing.
