The whole thing is funny when you look at the full phrase too. Graphical Interchange Format – it’s got both a hard g and a soft g. You could call a gif an image. You could also call it a graphic.

Say gift. Now what you’re going to do next is leave out the T but enunciate the gif part the same way. Fuck you jif people!
Say gigantic. Now what you’re going to do next is stop with your ANTICs and enunciate the gig the same way.
Ironic since gig is already a word and everyone agrees it’s pronounced the other way.

There is a G sound and there is a J sound.
There is no need to invent a distinction between “hard” and “soft” G. A “soft G” is just a J.
G can make a hard G sound or a soft G sound, the soft G is identical to J.
It’s still a soft G sound though, because the letter is G.
No, it’s just a G that is making a J sound.
