"Dork" is a colloquial label for a person who is perceived as socially awkward, quirky, or overly obsessed with niche interests. While it was historically an insult, it is now frequently used as a term of endearment among friends or fans to describe someone's charmingly silly or "nerdy" behavior. It suggests a lack of coolness in a conventional sense, but often in a way that is considered relatable or harmless. The term is common in fandom spaces to describe characters or creators who do things that are slightly embarrassing but well-intentioned.
