I think Comic Sans has been demonized by virtue of its misuse. It's a fun, no-frills font that has been slapped on in just about every document on the face of the Earth. It's easy to see how people could decide to use it even in serious situations, so nowadays I just chuckle if I see it misused. Also, it's great for dyslexic people so that's a point in its favor.
