Generally, if you are winning, but you do not have clear checkmate, it's rude to say GG. If you have clear checkmate/you already checkmated, it's OK to say GG. If it's a draw/you lost, it is very fair to say GG.
Some people said gg actually said git gud than good game, just saying.

Uhh…no. Unless it was trolling or flexing, saying “GG” is considered polite.
I agree with FelixG711. Wait until the game is over & a normal player won't be offended.

This "GG" being considered rude is an online thing. It is said all the time in OTB play. We even shake hands and wish each other good luck. And we shake hands again at the end of the game and say "Good Game". So when someone tells you that's it's rude and they are just bragging. Consider the source and that it only happens online. Being able to hide behind a screen does things to some people and makes them act differently.
the one that REALLY GETS me ? ...GG within the first few moves !! ...what the ??
then i start tryn to win and guess what ? ...it only makes matters that much worse. AND i can tell that theyre not really THAT good. like if heekaroo said that to me ? ...i would totally understand. and semi-gratefully accept the cheekie comment.

I feel sooo confuzed about this. Sometimes players say it before they win me. Sometimes they say it after they do. Sometimes I take it as sincere. Sometimes I get angry at it being patronizing.
What do you think ?

sooo true. not sure for u...but for me ? GG has populated as a condescending remark - ftmp.
I never do. Takes all sorts.
...well ur from da sobiet onion. makes me cry.
one time i got mad at s/o after they said GG only after they had a winning position. I popped out (not thaaat popped out) and told them "scared to say that when it coulda gone either way ?". all i got was GG after every half-ply after that. sickening !
