Comic Sans: Yes or No?

[DrunkN]

C'mon, you know you love it.

[Mareeps]

Comic Sans is worst font 1/5

[Prinny Saturn]

Comic Sans is gross and should go die.

[ZedIsDead]

You guys need to chill out. It's not that bad.

[OmegaShadow]

I can tolerate it easily. But I don't exatly like it either.

[Razeluxe]

I've never had a problem with it. I think people seriously blow it out of proportion.

[Blue Shoe 2]

I honestly always forget what Comic Sans is.

[warghoul]

Where is the, who cares? option.

[DrunkN]

Where is the, who cares? option.
Just added.

This needed it's own topic.

[DrunkN]

This needed it's own topic.
I disagree, I would say that this needed its own poll.

[Dudebro]

What about Fixedsys font? I think a font with auto bolding is more controversial to use on a forum. Comic Sans is nothing.

Bah, I'm not a fan. It makes me read the post in a whiny, tech unsavy voice.

[Dudebro]

See that's what I mean. Fixedsys is discriminated against for being so different.

[fungusman]

Obligatory ....

In corporate environments, it's suited to use fonts like Arial and Times New
Roman over Comic Sans, but we aren't a company so it's fine to use it.

[RU Joe]

Maybe, it certainly depends on where it's used; I read a lot of comics so I'm used to it I suppose.
Somehow it looks out of place without either a rectangle or a speech bubble around it.

[Dudebro]

All anime should be subtitled in Fixedsys.

[DrunkN]

All anime should be subtitled in Fixedsys.
I really don't think that there's a good time to use Fixedsys unless you're explaining some kind of mathematical concept, or quoting a text adventure.

EDIT: See? It even fails to show up in quotes!

[Dudebro]

I disagree. If I was able to set it as my default font I'd do it. I think it looks retro.

[warghoul]

It looks like a lot of books I read.

[Dudebro]

You sure it's not a different font? There are some other good ones to choose from as well.

[warghoul]

No, i'd say it's the first. I'd post a pic but that's a lot of work. I don't know though it's quite similar.

[Dudebro]

Nah I understand what you mean. It has the typewriter look some print books use.

I sincerely don't get the hate about this. It's just a font and it's not difficult to read or understand.

[samejamesbond]

I sincerely don't get the hate about this. It's just a font and it's not difficult to read or understand.

It’s because some people are bothered by the curved shapes of the
font, which is often deemed unprofessional and unsuitable for many
corporate environments. But as this is a forum, it is kinda silly
to be bothered by Comic Sans because it is still a readable and
understandable text.

Got Me?

[Dudebro]

People should hate wingdings, :pissed-off:

[samejamesbond]

Webdings DB, if you are going to insult something at least get it right.

[Dudebro]

Wingdings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[samejamesbond]

Webdings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[Dudebro]

Yes I am aware of that page. Are you aware that I wasn't wrong?

[samejamesbond]

No I'm aware you weren't right DB.
Or do I have to type in Comic Sans for you to get the message?

[DrunkN]

No I'm aware you weren't right DB.
He said that people should hate wingdings. It was totally an expression of opinion.

[samejamesbond]

I know, I'm trying to be annoying.
It's not difficult to understand DN.

[Dudebro]

This discussion is more annoying than any fonts.

[samejamesbond]

This discussion is more annoying than any fonts.

Fonts never were annoying, it's just the people using them.

[DrunkN]

I know, I'm trying to be annoying.
It's not difficult to understand DN.
I seriously doubt that it would be the first time you've misinterpreted something.

Everyone has a moment where they hardly think something over. Am I to assume that in the future we, nor any other two members of the site, could not possibly be in disagreement?

[samejamesbond]

You've completely misread what I've typed.
I was being sarcastic about the comic sans line.

I don't like Webdings either, I just like bothering
people with the font.

I am aware that you were being sarcastic, I was made aware after your response to my first post.

I am saying that it was genuinely a believable possibility to me that you were honestly being a dingus about the Webdings business. I don't mean to suggest that I think you're a moron, but we all have moments where we do something stupid, and I honestly thought that this was the case. For the same reason, I don't detect sarcasm well unless it's indicated very clearly, even when spoken.

Dingbats

[Kugyince]

Am I the only one who can't tell the difference between Comic Sans and most other fonts?

[N64Frk]

What Is it about comic sans that drives peple up the wall? :sweat:
I think it's a nice font.:redface:

[Slime Slayer]

I think it's because when the internet and fonts started to get popular, comic sans for whatever reason was severely over used.

[N64Frk]

That's true, in a way, but that doesn't mean people should be complaining about it. :freaked-out: It's readable, at the very least.
