A lot of the fangirls come from huge fandom-wide misinterpretations of the character. It's generally assumed that Gary's some mysterious, dangerous genius, when really he's just a jerk who everyone ignores. Even in scenes where you see him teamed up with another character, it'll mostly be Gary talking at them and then being more or less shrugged off by them (like when Johnny tells him to shut up, and Tad barely acknowledges him when he says that Jimmy's been talking shit.) Even Jimmy stops caring about him partway through the game, and he is able to influence the school because the other students only hear the stories he tells them, and don't pay him enough mind to realize what he's doing.

I mean, there isn't a whole lot to work with when it comes to interpretting his character, and everyone can interpret a character however they want, but the huge fangirl following this boy has is really baffling.
