Fan Complaint About 'Nagatoro' Subs Goes From 0 To 100 At Lightning Speed - Comment #5,755,395

I find this far less egregious. Much like World of Warcraft changed the word "Epic" from a relatively obscure literary term into an adjective in the lexicons of people that don't even play video games, the shorting of the word Suspicious into Sus is getting a ton of use from the zoomers and could very well stick around beyond the relevance of it's origin.

The meltdown over it is almost as ridiculous a that one time people threw a shit fit because NOA's localization team snuck a doge reference in a book on a shelf in a silly co-op Zelda game about a bunch of Link wannabes hurring and durring through dungeons while dressing like cactus' and cheer leaders to save a princess from the curse of being unstylish.

"Sus" as an abbreviation of "suspicious" doesn't originate with Among Us. It's become heavily associated that but predates it considerably. Not trying to contradict your point (if anything this strengthens it, as the term does have a life outside its memetic status), just expanding on it a bit.
