Penny is just a reclusive nerd, and not even the extreme-case neurotic hikikomori type, just a regular nerd who as a rule takes the stance that she dislikes people (she has good friends, but she barely interacts with them in-person, and she initially acts abrasive towards Arven and Nemona and shittalks her own dad). Her not fitting neatly into currently popular buzzword-derived stereotypes confuses the current-day retarded John Everyman. No, she's just a slightly older stereotype, specifically a sourpuss NERD.
