So.. I think I'm overthinking this and should rather go with the consistent "gg".

You shouldn't say gg until your opponent has said it. If the opponent doesn't care about gg etiquette, not saying gg won't offend them, but if they do, saying it will.

So in a Kantian world, nobody would ever say gg...?

That's not what it means. It means that nobody would ever say gg as the winner without waiting for the loser to say it first.

Oh, right. I only read the part of  HKs' post you quoted and didn't understand he talked about a situation where he was the winner specifically. In that case I agree to you. Writing "gg" can appear as condescending, especially if you win by a large margin.
