When you do
sudo apt-get install pidgin

Pidgin (like many, many others packages) will recommend you a lot of GTK dependencies if you don't have a Gnome DE (Desktop Environment). This is because the package should integrate much better with those package.

To avoid this behavior and just install the package with his *dependencies* and no 'Suggests' (in debian/control file) dependencies, run this:
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends pidgin

I'm marking this bug as Opinion since it's not a really bug.

Thanks for your report.
