Meh. Usage is cringe, but so is the hate.
All the emergency signs in my old office were in comic sans. I thought it was rather funny
It's not easier to read, I'm not sure where that myth came from. There's fonts specifically designed to be easier to read for dyslexics and they look nothing like comic sans.
Some people just want to make excuses for their questionable typographical decisions I guess.

I used it for its true purpose back in the day, for Microsoft Comic Chat.
It's like almost nobody remembers that ... that's a thing that existed.

Good option for dyslexics if no actual dyslexic font exsists
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.

Went out with someone for 3 months who had comic sans on her phone and honestly Iβm adding that to the red flag list. Never again
I smell stories!!!
It depends on the messages, if the message is more important than the delivery, then any font is fine.
I don't think it's that bad. What matters is that the message can be read.

It's acceptable in the following contexts:
- In a comic
- In content designed for children
That's pretty much it.
No no no no.
It's also acceptable for presidential speeches. The funny letters have a way of calming the elderly.
Donβt mind the crayons
