Strawberry in F-tier is indeed a wild choice, haha. I think it's good that the tier list example is so silly, as it keeps us Wikipedians from presenting subjective opinions. Maybe the current example is a bit too out there, I'm not sure what might be better. The main reason we're using fruit here is because the pictures are freely licensed. ~

By specifically choosing to put Strawberry in F-tier to avoid presenting subjective opinions aren't you doing exactly that? I don't disagree with your choice, it's just an example of a Tier list after all but it is interesting to think about how information can be presented in a more subjective manner.

I do think it would be nice if we could show a tier list that wouldn't make a subjective quality judgment, but I'm not sure what subject we could possibly use for that, that is lower-stakes than this one. ~

not necessarily i mean they come from fighting games and other types of games with objective meta elements that make some characters better

Origin
where did this concept (this style in particular) originate? There is a definite focus around Japan and I heard it was based on Japanese high school class rankings but I have found no evidence for this.

The sources haven't gotten much depth on this either. I don't think anyone particularly knows. The S-grade almost certainly originates from Japanese culture, but the stacking aesthetic may have been a slow evolution over time. I would love to know a more detailed history on it as well. ~
