I quite like it for readability when you want something less formal, but it’s so looked down upon that I don’t dare use it anymore.

It's like using ain't as short for am not. It's correct, but the word is so reviled that it can't be used unless you're going for a particular affectation.

Comic Sans is for silly stuff. Nothing wrong with using it for silly things.
