A lot of what makes Comic Sans so ugly (lack of consistency or uniformity) also happens to make it more legible for people with dyslexia or similar reading disabilities.

Dyslexie explains it well in their about pages, https://www.dyslexiefont.com/en/typeface/

I wish the font was free, but there's always https://opendyslexic.org/

All the times I've read along people bashing some 'asshole' who insisted on Comic Sans for everything, now I'm wondering how often the 'asshole' had dyslexia and the other people were the real assholes...

Oh fascinating. It does make sense now. Maybe someone will release a open source version that could be included in systems.

Seeing that there are paid versions designed specifically for this
