    Times New Roman is wayyyy too classy for Trump Administration. They should switch to Comic Sans MS.

    …Oh no, I’m re-heating font jokes that people older than me found funny decades ago. What has this present political climate reduced us to?

        OK I love that fonts stir up such strong feelings in people… but racist? How tf is papyrus racist?

          I’m mostly kidding with that one. It’s a tiny fraction of why that Chinese takeout font is racist, it’s (very lightly, in the case of Papyrus) the way a foreign script looks to someone who doesn’t actually understand how to read that foreign script rendered as a latin alphabet. Like yeah, I guess that’s a valid argument but I am in no way cancelling papyrus and nobody should care about this argument, lol.

            I thought you were kidding but I just had to know lol. Like to make a case for Papyrus being racist you’d firstly have to say who it’s being racist towards, and it’s just a bit… vague… for that. Na’vi maybe?

      i wouldn’t argue with comic sans personally. i hear it’s a good font for some types of dyslexia. i’d rather have more people be able to read it than look dignified.
