All Protoss players are officially gay, fat and retarded.

What is it about proxy gating that is so much fun? Doesn't it get old after a million games?

You just need to scout the proxi before the gateways are even started, but certainly before they're done. Pull about 6 scvs and attack the gates; marines kill probe. It just needs practice and experience. Remember that after the protoss has failed this tactic and you have successfully defended it in your own base, the game will be even. Same with 12-14ish nexus builds; loosing nexus puts protoss even or ahead. You just have to learn to weather those storms without too much delay to your own build while countering them to keep the game even.

As doctorhelvetica said, it's fun after the 100th time. Simple strats for simple minds and they still won't get bored. This also applies for bunker rushing and early pool builds though as well, to be fair.

Yeah I know how to beat it. But the problem for me is that D+ players for some reason won't build their proxy gates in logical spots, so it is hard to scout. And even if I fend it off they do some lame DT drop or whatever, so I still usually lose.

Frustration is the word of today.

My guess would be that proxy 9/9 gates happen to be a quite good counter to most TvP openings. Which makes us sad seeing it 15 TvP games in a row.

if everyone proxy-gates then scout properly and u have an automatic advantage.
From D to D+/C- the best strat PvT is 7 gate period.

It's not the proxy gates that are fun, it's the opponents' reactions.

On a side note: I pretty much never proxy gate because I figure good players won't lose to it and all I will accomplish is risk losing a game to a person I could've otherwise beaten by playing straight up.

proxy gating = fun for both people, if you win = fun for you and if they block it then its fun for them.
