Among Us, developed by InnerSloth and released in 2018, became a global hit in 2020 as streamers and friends played its social deduction matches online. When players vote someone out, the game reveals whether that crewmate was the Impostor, and the blunt not-the-Impostor verdict became a running joke about mistaken blame. Clips of that reveal spread through gaming videos, streams and short-form edits, where the line now works far beyond the game itself as shorthand for any innocent person wrongly accused.
