Make the default website font Comic Sans

Support. Comic sans is underrated.

Personally I don't know if I reacted here (cant find anything with ocular) yet but tbh I only like comic sans when used in comedic fashion, not just for an entire site. (eg you know what sans.)
edit: nvm i already did ignore this

Not everyone, but Comic Sans is one of few fonts that has a literal base of haters. People that loathe the font. That is unique to that font, there is no font more universally hated. I understand your point, some people like Comic Sans, but not many.

Here’s a ChatGPT shortened study by https://wp.wwu.edu/comicsans/research-results/

In a survey involving 120 participants primarily aged 18 to 20, font preferences were explored, revealing that Times New Roman received the highest positive reaction (58.3%), while Comic Sans generated the most negative responses (58%). Reasons for Comic Sans aversion included its appearance, and a majority (80.8%) acknowledged a social stigma associated with the font, with 71.7% noting online evidence of this. None favored using Comic Sans for professional documents, and participants often associated it with words like “unprofessional” and “childish.”

This just looks silly. Plus, would anyone above the age of 8 be excited to join this new site called Scratch only to then be greeted with something similar to this:

Regardless, a dupe was made and I had to post SOMETHING

Source? Comic Sans was made for Microsoft Bob, a software featuring assistants which used speech bubbles. No, it wasn't for children.

Children material is meant to simplify things

Microsoft Bob simplified the Windows desktop

Both used Comic Sans because it is a friendlier font

While I'm not going to get involved on the debate on the usage of the font, I'm here just to remind you all that not all of us use Windows as their OS and therefore may not have Comic Sans installed. Hosting it yourself may not be a good idea either, since Comic Sans may not be allowed to be freely distributed (I haven't checked, but better be safe than sorry).

However, Comic Sans-like fonts do exist, such as Comic Neue, and it's best for Scratch to use that instead (if they wanted to).

Colored Pencil is supposed to color the siggy, but Scratch says it's too big.

1. You can do that with the inspect tool

Having to change font everytime you enter or refresh a new page? That seems kinda too tedious…

Parent user: kkidslogin, Generation 16: the first time you see this copy and paste it on top of your sig in the scratch forums, increase generation by 1, and change the parent user to who you’re reading this from. Social experiment.

INSERT-USER_NAME

It might be kind of dyslexic-friendly, I'm not sure though, I can't entirely remember what the font looks like.

hey guys

Why would it be exclusive to AFD? What if you like Comic Sans and want to use it (like me)?

I agree. Comic sans would look nice in some places (Ie: Header Bar) but replacing the default site font would look really bad, Semi Support
