Jif is a cleaning product. GIF stands for graphics interchange format, so it is pronounced gif. If it stood for giraffe interchange format maybe there would be an argument for pronouncing it jif, but it doesn't so the creator of GIF is a git.

also for the maroons who say jiff, giraffe is pronounced with a j because it's french and that's how french works

If the "G" in gif is for graphic, maybe we're all pronouncing graphic wrong and didn't know it. Maybe nature intended it to sound something like juraphic. Welcome to Juraphic Park. Nature finds a way.
