Gonk, often used pejoratively, refers to a specific type of fan or enthusiast, particularly within fandoms related to science fiction, fantasy, or gaming. The term carries implications of naivety, excessive enthusiasm, and a lack of social awareness. Essentially, a "gonk" is seen as someone overly invested in their hobby, to the point of being perceived as awkward or even annoying by others.
The stereotype often includes a lack of fashion sense, social skills, and an over-reliance on fictional worlds for social interaction. While the term is frequently used humorously, it can be hurtful, as it implies a judgement on someone's personal interests and passion. The etymology of the word "gonk" is debated, but one theory suggests a link to a puppet character of the same name. While the origins and usage of "gonk" are complex, it generally refers to a person excessively enthusiastic and socially awkward.
