If you say GIF as G-I-F, you're treating it as an initialism, like FBI, HTML, etc.
An acronym is a word created from the first letters of each word in a series of words, like NATO, SCUBA, AIDS, etc.
Therefore, GIF would be an acronym deserving pronunciation like a regular word.
Depending on how tough or manly you are, soft dudes say "jif", while us killers and gangsters say "gif".

You're right...

You just treated me...But I still just say GIF...lol

I use a hard G in my GIF pronunciation. Good to know either is accepted.

And how can it not be pronounced peh-doe bear, just like how pedophile is pronounced? That's what it is, a pedophile bear.

Wait, youre trying to spit logic on the subject of a bear that entices kids with a van that has "candy" written on it?
Some thing just arent supposed to make sense, and thats why pea-doe-bear makes perfect sense.
