I find it hilarious how some of you get worked up over people wanting to ban it and then getting worked up yourselves about not banning it. . >.>" Sometimes, I think it needs to be banned from things like hospitals, BIBLES, and the like. . Other than that, I'd have to agree with Went on this one.

Yeah. I know there are loads of worse fonts out there, but Comic Sans got its bad reputation because it's overused and too often used in the wrong places. Other fonts I'd put up there with Comic Sans would be Papyrus and Curlz MT. I'm sick of them, too.

But banning fonts doesn't really make any sense at all.

Wow. I always said that font should be banned as a joke, but I never realised there was an actual movement for it XD I would support it, it's the most ugly, sickly font I've ever seen. Surprising you can think that about a font, but I do haha. I hate it whether it's used in official stuff or casual stuff, wherever it is, it's ugly ~ I've thought that for years.

Most of the pro-ban supporters will think differently after watching this.
XD That was actually really funny

Sure, I hate Comic Sans as well, but to ban it is, well, just a TAD crazy, y'know.

There's a hell of a lot worse fonts out there. Especially all those goofy ones with animals and crap (like Puppypaw).

Why would you ban a font? What does that accomplish?
I couldn't care less if Comic Sans was gone, but what's the point of banning it?

Is it harming anyone?
No.

Do some people like to use it?
Yes.

So, I don't see why this is even considered.

No, because that only strengthens the views that it should only be used in comic books.

They want it banned from professional use not your lame internet use, fyi. Why? It's a terribly unprofessional font and is so overused to the point where it just makes half the world's population look even more retarded than they already are. Tell me how banning it from use in restaurants, Bibles, etc. is unreasonable and crazy and stupid? Is the Bible a comic book? Is your food menu a comic book? That's what I thought.

Yes, ban Comic Sans please. One of my favourite teachers at school types all her assignment tasks for us in Comic Sans and it's practically the thing I hate the most about her. xD

Ugh... Comic Sans is in my top 10 overrated list.

This is going to far.

I love usin' this font. [ignore=current font of my profile page]

Yeah, I think they are going too extreme for this. Why are they trying so hard on a font? There are other things in this world that should have this attention!

How does it look nooby?. It's just a font, nothing negative about it.

Why ban Comic Sans? D: I remember writing many of my literature projects in this fonts when I was younger. Although it may seem overrated, banning a font is pretty ridiculous. Might as well ban other fonts you don't like if that's the case.

It was the font used on my profile for a while, too. :<

Some of you seem to be missing what the people want. People are sick of seeing this font on OFFICIAL documents and things like Bibles, menus, et cetera. Using Comic Sans for things like that is ridiculous and unprofessional. It's used for Comics and things like Internet forums/fansites/et cetera; it shouldn't be used for anything else. What the people are trying to do is ban the font from things of importance.

I know. I hate the font in general, but I don't think it should be banned. If there's a Bible written in Comic Sans, DON'T READ IT. The stories are the same in a Bible printed in Times New Roman.

Or convert to Judaism/Islam and learn Hebrew/Arabic - they don't really have a Hebrew/Arabic Comic Sans. If you're really that sick of the font then I don't think you'd mind converting XD

As for other documents, its really the choice of the person who wrote it. It's just a bloody font and it's readable; I don't care if it's on a legal document or not. Sure makes the author look like an idiot, but that's their choice. At least it's nothing like Puppypaw or something like that. I think I'd jump off a cliff after seeing a legal document written all in Puppypaw *shudders*

Well then, yes, I agree it should be kept out of places it doesn't belong, but then what of all the other wrongfully-applied typefaces? Won't there at some point be someone that'll try and get some other font banned fot the same reason?

I think a better course of action would be like Went said and just educate people better on proper use of typography. It's not the font's fault, it's the morons who use it wrongfully that are the problem.

how can they ban something if not everyone will remove it from their font folder?
Windows update. xD

I personally would love it if the font was banned. I'd remove it from my computer so it wouldn't appear, but I can't be bothered. Segoe UI ftw.

Ew ew I hate this font.
Just looking at that ^ made me blah.
Banning it is stupid though. But I wouldn't mind. ;D

i wanna be the wind that fills your sails,
& be the hand that lifts your veil.
& be the moon that moves your tide,
the sun coming up in your eyes.
be the wheels that never rust,
& be the spark that lights you up.
all that you've been dreaming of and more,
so much more, i wanna be your everything.. <3
