I just took too much time reading the notalwaysright and humortown links...

I'm still looking through the latter. I usually avoid things that announce in their titles or descriptions just how FUNNY!!!! they are (since it's usually lolcats and really old funnyjunk-type images), but goddamn if this isn't. I'm glad to waste more of my already-being-wasted time on reading that page specifically.

I think comic sans is a fun font that is really dainty and shit!

[kaijyuu]

I still don't understand the hate against Comic Sans.

It looks really shitty, for one.

[kaijyuu]

It's a type face. I don't see how it could look "shitty" unless it was illegible, which is is not.

Then again maybe I'm unsophisticated when it comes to type faces. There's probably a whole world here.



(I should note that I'm not being condescending by saying this, as I have nothing against sophisticated tastes in any subject whatsoever. I like people getting passionate about random things, actually. It's just that not everyone will care about everything like that.)

Look, buddy, if you haven't learned yet that some fonts are to hate, you will. Seen this one before? Yep, put it on the hate list.

Oh, I did too, once. But once you see it, you can't stop seeing it... everywhere...

Oh papyrus? Yeah sometimes I use that to get a free 'I like your font' on my papers.

[fqllve]

Papyrus is a pretty good typeface for logos, particularly the Arizona tea logos, but it's kind of... unreadable for bodies of text. But even then, I don't think it's as hard to read as say Porcelain or Curlz.

I don't really get the hate for Comic Sans though. It's a little jocular for everyday use but it works really well for a nice casual logo. It really all boils down to appropriate use, to me, and I'd rather blame the idiot who decided to use it for their wedding invitations than the font itself.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I think most people hate on Comic Sans because memes tell them to, not because they actually object to Comic Sans.

Meh, I do it out of a where's-waldo kind of thing.

No, it's about using it out of context. You don't use it for obituaries, resumes, or anything that is even remotely serious. It's like using smileyfaces every other word, or ALLCAPS, it conveys non-spoken information contradictory to the message. It's like shouting ecstatically "Hey buddy! Guess what? Your puppy *drumroll* DIED! " That inappropriate.
