It's a highly casual font, people hate it because it used in places it is inappropriate for. Times is much better and more readable but can be too formal too which is why Word switched to Calibri. I think its because its used in a lot of kids presentations/lessons and is considered easy to read so people are tired of it. Not sure though. I mean its quite ugly but I dont think it deserves the hate it gets.

At this point it's just a huge in-joke for nerds. There's nothing inherently wrong with it.

I remember using Snap Itc back with Windows '95 and maybe other versions. Those were good times back when you could get away with 16 size font.

In the 90s, Comic Sans was the default font when using Windows Powerpoint and Web templates. As a result, just about every amateur homepage and Powerpoint presentation was in Comic Sans.

Pretentious people prefer boring, unengaging font types. For instance, Arial is less readable, less attractive, yet more widely accepted. /shrug

Aesthetically it's a goofy-looking font.

Think of any powerful Willem DaFoe role, now substitute him with Steve Buscemi. That's Comic Sans.

People hate it in the same way that bacon is "the best food ever", and how Boaty McBoatface is the funniest name for everything.

A couple of people shared their opinion on the internet, and the sheep drove the meme into the ground.
