  I am aware of that tier thing. I just don’t understand who the hell designed that. Red is mostly associated with dangerous things, not the best. A Gradient from green to red is commonly used to rate things and green is the best. And when using alphabetic ordering it makes absolutely no sense to put S ahead of A and then going through the alphabet afterwards (A through F). This whole thing is ludicrous.

    Assuming you’re serious, which I’m not entirely sure you are, S being above A originally had Japanese origins where the character it represents means ‘Excellent’, and on English lists it typically means ‘Superlative’ (or any similar word starting with S, like Superb or Super). This is not a new thing.

    Regardless, this is an S+ tier ragebait shitpost and clearly it’s having its desired effect.

    But it does make sense, even if you don’t know it. It’s weird to get hung up on something that’s clearly just your lack of knowledge. Why would you assume that it’s everyone else who’s wrong?
