It's bananas to me how similar these fonts are, and how passionately people feel about them:
> the stupid slanted end bits on letters like c s and r are also really crap.
> Arial is an awful font that I wish never had been born.
> What the hell were they smoking when they made the t and G?
Like, I wish Hitler had never been born. Arial can stick around, haha.
- skinnymuch 8y agoPeople are obviously exaggerating. I don’t care much about fonts. But I still wrote to a friend that Arial is ugly and sucks when linking to this. That doesn’t mean I really care all that much. Just a feeling in the moment.
- camgunz 8y agoYeah of course they are. I guess my point is that it isn't helpful. Like, with a just a modicum of self discipline we could go from "the slanted lines are really crap" to "slanted lines in a font are bad because ...", or from "I wish Arial had never been born" to "the introduction of Arial into the mainstream was disastrous for design because ...". At some point, the internet is a cesspool because of us.
