What is your opinion on Comic Sans? (kbin.social)

I was going to make a post on unpopular opinions saying comic sans is not as bad as people make it out to be and can be useful in some cases since it is easier to read. But decided not to because I wasnt sure kbin/lemmy felt about it.

Hating comic sans is a meme. It was overused and thus received backlash, and now the backlash has been going on longer that the trend it was in response to.

The trend was like 3 years, and the hate has been going on for like 25 years.

The trend has never stopped where I'm from. The hate is burning as bright as ever.

True it was overused at one point. I guess a lot of the hate is just exaggerated from people getting annoyed how much it showed up in resumes and official documents as well as being used by amateur graphics designers . Which is fair. The font itself I think still serves a purpose when used correctly.
