"sus" existed way before then, before Among Us it was primarily used to imply someone was secretly gay

Oooh, another reason to hate the pervasiveness of Among Us, thanks.

I feel like it's just the opposite? I guess in that context it would be short for "suspected" rather than "suspicious", though that's a very narrow distinction because they come from the same root word, but to me it sounds like it used to be a homophobic term, and now it's just a reference to a video game. Anything that limits the spread of political overcorrection is fine by me (to be clear, I'm all for legitimate political correctness, but if you legislate out anything that might be offensive, you'll be left with nothing at all. For example, the word "boy" is a perfectly valid way to refer to a male child, but also a racist epithet. I stole that example from the comments section of a YouTube video about the recent decision to put an in-game profanity filter that can't be disabled into Minecraft, and one of those old-fashioned ones that will stop you from writing the word "night" because the first three letters are a banned string.)
