Round 1
Among Us is a great game concept. Although not the first, an online game where everyone has a special role is very nice. Everyone is the detective, except for the impostors, obviously. It is very inclusive and interesting. More and better updates add new roles, new outfits, new colors, new pets, and more.
This concept should be marketed more across the internet. Not only Among Us, but also other similar games. These games encourage critical thinking. This game has cute and easily made characters. With an un-specific concept for characters, it makes it easier to put yourself in the shoes of these small space-beans. Fan art and fan-incorporated mini-films have spawned from this game (mostly because of the memes). This game has the potential to start a movie or TV show based on it. It has encouraged music, comics and many more things from the fan community. Anyway, this was pretty much an argument for fun I hope you dont take this seriously.
If you want you can join me in round two for the memes lol
Semantically, 'genius' is a noun that only a living being or AI can either possess or be:
It is possible Pro meant to say 'ingenious':

It indeed was not the first in any regard of its kind.
It stole from the party game 'mafia' that has had many online iterations:

However, what it really stole from was the interactive format known as:
Visually, you only had this pathetically drawn jellybaby astronaut type thing:
The only unique things it had were a huge spike thanks to streamersplaying it during Covid lockdown:
Despite its release in June 2018, Among Us did not emerge as a hit until recently, after video game streamers on Amazon’s Twitch service started broadcasting their games.

Pedo hub
INNOCENT kids are being sent child abuse videos and sexual messages on a new online game that has taken the world by storm.Among Us was only released two years ago but has quickly garnered millions of users – with fears that online predators are now using the platform to target unsuspecting youngsters.Mum Julie Gower was horrified when she discovered her daughter had been sent explicit messages on the gameAnd parents have been left horrified after realising the game’s chat function is being used by sickos to send explicit messages.Mum Julie Gower revealed her 14-year-old daughter had been playing the game with friends when a new player joined their game.But after chatting normally for a few minutes, the player sent a link to a sick video on the chat showing child sexual abuse.Julie told The Sun Online: "The individual then started asking the girls what they thought of it."They immediately blocked him and my daughter came and told me."They did report him through the game and we made a Police report. Nothing could be done from a Police perspective. He was kicked from the game but I understand they can just create another profile and carry on."But Julie's experience is terrifyingly not uncommon with warnings being shared widely online.Just one player shared a warning online, writing: “Trigger warning, I was playing among us and these people were saying they want to rape my dead body. What the hell.”The player, who uses a purple avatar, included screenshots of messages they had been sent that read: “U want p***y” and “I kill purple and get her dead p***y”.Other messages revealed by horrified users include disturbing notes reading “I want to rip all of your organs out” and “wanna be my boy”.

Round 2
Forfeited
Round 2 is for the memes this game created but the only memes I know of, related to this game are calling someone 'sus' of being a pedo.
It 'is a fun game,
Though the loophole of people being able to group can be a bit annoying, though such doesn't happen for all games.
thanks for voting everyone :D I know I lost but this was still fun
oh wow sorry to hear that
It is easy to type until it is someone close to you that is victimised.
Fair game lol xD
one thing tho, You cant send videos and images over Among Us chat. If some stupid kid decides to send a pedo some social network connections thats user stupidity and Inner Sloth should not be held accountable.
