A popular expression used by French Canadians, which depicts the urge to film and/or take as much pictures as possible of an event which seems amazing when seen in real-time, but appears devoid of interest when looking back at the footage and/or photos.
The expression's name relates to whale tours, a popular tourist attraction in Québec's Côte-Nord, during which this phenomenon is very frequent among newcomers.

Quebecer 1: Can you believe this? Aunt Jeanne managed to fill 3 memory cards with her photos from the whale tour...
Quebecer 2: Whale syndrome. Don't worry about it, that's a family trait. It's just like my grandfather who films fireworks shows.

A whale account, is an account usually in a gacha game, that a player spends a hefty amount of money on. Either for characters, skins, or weapons. Players who play like this, typically spend well over 200$ on a game to feed their gacha addiction. However, players who play like this are usually frowned upon because of they don’t experience games as a F2P player would.
person 1: Hey I heard you got the new character, congrats!
person 2: Yeah I only spent around 120$ this time round... what a save!
person 1: Oh so you own a whale account!

The whale the game is kinda important to me know if you are staying at the end of the wild the game is here to help you with the dark souls of my friends and family members and the two stair icons which is a map with the nutshack theme song lyrics and I think it's just too much of a million dollars.

Either a whale that is in the process of decomposing, or a Gay person lying on the group, refusing to get up.
