They have huge heads, they are fat and short, they look annoying as hell and well I could go on forever but I wont. I usually have my mode on kill on sight if I see a gnome

...I can give you more reasons, like, since my first main was a Tauren i've always been annoyed with their size. It's like trying to smash a fly with your mouse when you try to target those suckers.
(Yeah i know, just TAB, but to start autoattack you gotta click em, if you don't have the attack button up, which i don't have...xD )
...
How is it so many people don't know what pressing the T button does?
I only thing I hate about gnomes is their capital city, honestly who would live in that place? The only reason I kill gnomes is because their death animation/sound is by far the best in the game. In fact I'm kinda jealous.

so u got a problem with the generalization?
ok what if i say: almost 90% of the people that pick gnomes are...... and so on
is that ok now?
95% of all statistics are made up on the spot - and unless you're posting a link to your statistical reference, they're probably incorrect as well. ;)
Now, if you tag on, "In my experience," to your statements, then it's fine; it's stating opinion as fact, or attempting to validate your opinion with unbased data, that gets my goat.
It's amazing - I play Alliance primarily, and for some reason I hate Undead Rogues and Mages in a way that seems similar to how some Horde hate Gnomes. Perhaps it's all a matter of perspective - which side of the fence you're on and all that?
Anyway, so that I'm not derailing the thread even more: I mainly dislike Gnomes because Blizzard hasn't done much to make them fit into the world. Even Draenei - a race that a lot of hardcore Warcraft fans dislike because of all the retconning done to lever them onto Azeroth - has more detailed back story than Gnomes - and the short, overly cute refugees have been in the game since the beginning!
Of course, it could also have something to do with the fact that
anything
that cute has to be evil... I'm still waiting for the Gnomes to defect to the Legion.

I recently took my 70 Paladin into Gnomeregan for fun. I herded up every one of the leper Gnomes in the hangar and proceeded to drop them all with Consecrate. The glorious symphony of Gnomish "Uh-UHHHHG"s is a treasured memory. ;)

Gnomes and Undead are my two favorite races.
I like gnomes because I like the idea of being both small and powerful, and gnomes are as powerful as any other race.
I like undead because i guess I like the idea of reincarnating from the dead to rampage a bit more.

I heard Blizz is giving Gnome a new racial called "Anti-diplomacy" (Reputation gains decreased by 80%), because just about everyone hates Gnomes.

NE hunters and gnome rogues = 50% of battlegrounds.
To me, it's not that they are so annoying, it's that there are so many of them. It's so refreshing to see a human rogue or a dwarf hunter... and I'm ALWAYS amused by gnome warriors.

And where's your statistical reference? =D
Anyway, ontopic:
Saying that only kids play this or that race is so naive. I am 15 years old but I never tell anyone before I get to know them better because I simply am looked down on if I do. Myself, I like Night Elves, yes. But if I want an alliance rogue, I'd pick a Dwarf because they are, well, cool. If I play horde and let's say create a warlock I usually pick an Undead because I think it fits best to the theme - a warlock is all about dark magic, pain and death.
Anyway, stop generalising the myth that all youth is childish please.

Biggest thing that annoys me is the sexually suggestive dance they all like to do when female enters the room. Grow up. Didn't blizz know they were setting up months worth of harassment tickets by making that dance?
That said, I LMAO every time I see a Moonkin dance. It's still sexually suggestive, but, in a hemrous way, so that it's not as common to see someone actually trying to be sexual with it. lol
