      I don't know what is a haiku but seems like deeply weeb.

        It’s a type of Japanese poem with 3 lines, the first and last being 5 syllables and the middle line being 7 syllables.

        I don’t really have an opinion on haikus in general, but making shitty haikus to be funny became somewhat of a meme in early 2010s nerd culture. I don’t think it started as a weeb thing, it was just a way to be “quirky” and “epic”.

          The massive amount of shitty reddit bots is ridiculous. I remember there was an image going around where someone was talking about a family member committing suicide or something and a reply was like "I'm sorry for your loss" and it triggered the 'dadbot' to say "Hi sorry for your loss, I'm dad!"

          Feel like with Japanese having a syllablic alphabet, trying to do that in a language with a phonetic alphabet (tell me if these are the wrong terms) is less meaningful or artistic. Agree? Or is that a dumb thought?

            Yeah, haikus don't really make as much sense in English. Also, the syllable restriction isn't the only aspect of a haiku, there are other conventions you're supposed to follow, so none of the bot haikus are "real" haikus anyway.

              Oh? What other kinds of things? If you don't mind explaining.

                Traditional Japanese haiku consist of three phrases that contain a kireji , or "cutting word", 17 on (a type of Japanese phoneme) in a 5, 7, 5 pattern, and a kigo or seasonal reference. Similar poems that do not adhere to these rules are generally classified as senryū .
