There was an edition of Crearive Review last year where they got designers to use Comic Sans to reclaim it - they mostly failed.

I have no idea why people hate comic sans and papyrus. I've even heard people hate Arial! Don't know what you have to do to get to that point.

some say it is one of the better typefaces for people with dyslexia to read and understand

ok mentioned before but ... people with dyslexia deserve to read labels based on u.s. regulation of spirit branding??

Dyslexic.com weigns in: " Some dyslexic people find that Comic Sans is one of the more readable of the commonly-available Windows fonts, and we have used it on this web site in the past. Others find it too bold, too childish or too informal."

Yesterday a company we've been dealing with at work sent its first official status report on a 12-week project they're doing for us. The headlines were in Comic Sans and the body was in a font similar to this:

They're a fairly niche company, but are highly recognized within our industry as basically the only people who do what we need them to do. Still, we're going to have words with them about the fonts.

I have no idea why people hate comic sans and papyrus.
My wife likes papyrus. I have informed her that some people hate it. She was also puzzled as to why this would be so.
I suspect that it is too often associated with people who think crystals are particularly good rocks for healing stuff that needs to be healed. And those who like to talk about angels as if they were the Good Witch from the 1939 Wizard of Oz movie.

i think the hatred for these fonts has to do with how often they are used. they are kind of goofy and poorly designed to begin with and seem to be used whenever people want to add a bit of pizzazz to lame documents. they just connote laziness and dumbness.
comic sans has sort of taken on a life of its own though. it's so widely reviled that it's become a widely acknowledged visual shorthand for unseriousness, which is kind of a weird thing. typography used to be one of those elements of graphic design that average people didn't attend to very much.

me [m, 37] started dating a great/funny/smart girl [f, 33] but the font she uses on her smartphone is comic sans

Sat here in Emergency, w Amber and her twisted ankle.
there is a similar sign to the just above. She remarked as we came in 'oo, It'll be proper A&E not children's'
I said that children's would probably be quicker.
anyway, I remembered the sign, we lagged.
ok, back to waaiting.

As a teacher, I find comic sans fairly useful. I use it sparingly, but it comes in handy to make slides look more kid-friendly, or to suggest the idea of handwriting without actually using a handwriting font that kids can't read. Like, if I'm telling them to write something on a notecard, I might give them an example sentence in comic sans to emphasize this is the part that you write.
