The Among Us Girl meme stems from the massive popularity of the social deduction game Among Us, which exploded in popularity in 2020. This specific variation typically uses fan-created illustrations or cosplays depicting a personified, anime-style version of a crewmate. It is primarily used to represent the feeling of being suspicious of someone ('sus') or to highlight the 'Imposter' vs 'Crewmate' dynamic in social situations. The meme gained significant traction on platforms like TikTok and Twitter, where users applied the game’s terminology to everyday life scenarios, making it a staple of modern gaming culture and digital irony.
