For me, it's about people having to always point how something makes them so old that was popular in their childhood. And they never ever stop to point out to everyone and announce how old they are.

Like yes, we get it, time fucking moves forward. It is by design. What makes you so special out of the billions that came before you and the billions more that'll come after you, about how old you are? It doesn't make you special so shut up.

Sus became popular from Among Us. Because of mobile players on text chat.

Among us wasn't around until like 2020, the events I speak of are around 2003, thus it became popular before for homophobic reasons, and then had a resurgence around 2020, which is what I'm surprised about.

The links I provided contend it was still being used in a homophobic manner in 2020, too, as they don't say "used to be" but say "is currently" 4y ago, so supposedly they were experiencing it then too rather than from memory like me.

I'm sorry to be the one to break the news to all of you, I guess.
