Susge is a variation of the popular Pepe the Frog meme, depicting Pepe with narrowed, suspicious eyes. The emote conveys suspicion, skepticism, or a sense that something fishy is going on. The name 'Susge' is a combination of 'sus' (short for suspicious, popularized by the game Among Us) and 'ge' (a common suffix for Twitch emotes derived from Pepe).
Origin
Susge originated as a modification of the original Pepe the Frog character created by Matt Furie in 2005. This specific suspicious-looking variant became popular on Twitch around 2020-2021, coinciding with the rise in popularity of the game Among Us, which popularized the term 'sus.' The emote is available on third-party emote platforms like 7TV, BTTV (BetterTTV), and FrankerFaceZ, which allow streamers to use additional emotes beyond Twitch's official offerings.
When to use
Susge is typically used in Twitch chat in the following situations:
• When viewers are suspicious of a streamer's actions or statements • When something seems off or questionable during gameplay • To indicate skepticism about information being presented • When a streamer or chat member is acting in a way that seems deceptive • As a reaction to potential plot twists or unexpected developments in games or stories • When someone makes a claim that seems dubious or hard to believe
