Wait, is this Comic Sans? Some just want to see the internet burn

I feel like the comic sans hate did die down in recent years and justly so. It was overhated IMHO. It's an ok font for certain uses. The problem was mostly people misusing it to serve roles it was never designed for.

I saw a meme where it was "big brain" to use it for their IDE/notepad so I tried it out and my god it's not even funny how legible and easy on the eye it is.

They're good, but I find both to be marginally less legible than Source Code Pro where the i and j are clearer, particularly when next to each other. The a is less clear in Source Code Pro though, so I'm still looking for the perfect font.

It will look good in a children story-book. Not in a professional email.

Sure, but we use Papyrus, not Comic Sans.

I know a person who professionally does something with text. She made it her mission to format every single email in ComicSans, bold, italic, red, centered.

See that's funny. My boss using comic sans light blue for emails explaining highly technical shit to non-technical users? Funny in theory, absolutely not in action.

that's how you teach them to highlight and copy/paste text
