It's a soft G.
Wilhite receives a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Webby Awards and used his platform to make his declaration. “It's pronounced JIF, not GIF.” Just like the peanut butter.
If I name my kid, no matter how it's spelled, it is pronounced how I want it pronounced. Now you may mistakenly pronounce it but once you are corrected then use the proper pronunciation.
Anyways, that's all I got for you today
Go away now.

If you name your kid Gabriel and tell everyone it's pronounced Jabriel... no it isn't.
The situation we have there is, it's still pronounced Gabriel and you're a moron.
The way language works is the majority pronunciation is correct. This can change over time in different areas, but it's a slow process and usually requires isolation. Whatever pronunciation confers meaning to the greatest number of people without explanation tends to win.

Just to be clear, I rated you faggotry for promoting the incorrect pronunciation, not for lack of a gif.
I'm guessing wilhite was a troll. The government killed him in 2022 and claimed it was a COVID-19 death to keep him silent.

these built in gifs need more options for calling people faggots.- 4

Go complain to Giphy, which is what the extension uses for for the gifs.

You can upload your own shit to Giphy (Giff-E) and I think it will use the addon when you hotlink it. It may also show up in the search, but I have never tried.Just to be clear, I rated you faggotry for promoting the incorrect pronunciation, not for lack of a gif.

Edit: nope, looks like direct link still hosted here. I tried a different "Falling Down" Gif, with the Neo-Nazi guy above, set to public and I cant find it in the search either, meh.

This rule has always been community enforced in the FSR. Retards and newcomers have tried to make it stick in the video and gif threads, but they’re just big fags.

Appealing to an authority as stupid as this girl's parents doesn't seem like a great argument to me.

I agree, however the Gif button is right there so there is no excuse.
I am not going to complain, but I’m not going to complain about the complainers either.
What I will do is post a Gif.
Saying Gif is great, but saying Gif is genius.
