They're useless and should be banned.
If you use them, I hate you.

There is no reason to get rid of Oxford commas and barely one to even be angered by them. Whether you put them in or not barely affects clarity. Personally, I use them, since it sounds more like the way I talk, but if others don't it doesn't bother me. >dewey, pulls, and kill.

>>524370 when we have a list of things, people disagree over whether to use a comma before the last item.
Oxford comma: A, B, and C No Oxford comma: A, B and C
I usually don't use it because writing reads better with less commas imo, but in some cases (like >>524201), it's needed to keep things clear

Use what fits you best. Oxford comma is a completely stylistic choice; its inclusion and omission can work for, or against, what you are trying to say.
For instance, compare: we, us together, and him vs. we, us together and him.
Consistency is key, but readability is even more so.
