But at least in the gaming domain, this issue doesn't exist.
The winner is the boss.
The loser is the fool.
Although factors like luck, condition, version, and discomfort can restrain, the strengths and weaknesses of professional gamers remain quite obvious compared to the previous examples.
Be it an embroidered pillow or a vase, they will reveal their true colors sooner or later unless the person involved never aimed to create a 'strong persona' from the start.
For those in the circle known for saying 'I'm awful but cheeky enough' or 'I'm weak but can tell jokes' as their selling points, people tend to be much more lenient about their actual strength since they never claimed to be strong; attacking through such topics is a low-level behavior.
So although it's relative, the water in this circle is indeed clearer than much.
