Among Us has really sus values: training people to lie to each other and be okay with it, mob rule and the absence of law, mob violence and the absence of justice, kangaroo courts, virtue signalling. It's kind of like a mini-China social experiment.
But ganging up seldom works because you know if you chose right or wrong.
There are good life lessons in there. I just haven’t found them yet.
Also. It’s super easy to cheat at it once you think about how to do so. But it’s also pointless to cheat because it’s just a game. But once you know how easy it is you start thinking that many of the games are rigged
The usual Among Us court is "you accuse them, they accuse you. We throw both out the airlock, to be sure."
Of course, in a real-life situation, you have more than 90 seconds to plead your case, but often in real court cases, there's just as much evidence as an Among Us kill.
This is what I wrote my niece:

Do you know if anyone has done an expose on these things? Would be great to point to a youtube video or something
