Respect is a weird word here.. Im not sure what it means. Obviously earlier when i said respect i simply meant "treat someone with dignity" though here it seems to mean something more like "honor" or to praise.

There is just so much to this on a philosophical level. The first thing i ask is a skill with no utility worthy of praise just because of how extreme that skill may be? Is it worthy of skill if its literally just having fun all day playing games to the exclusion of everything else in life to the point where you get good? I mean is that more worthy of praise than someone who spent that time learning how to do open heart surgery or some skill that was far less fun to learn but actually useful?

I dunno.. for me i certainly recognize the time investment. But to me the "heros" the ones who are worthy of praise and screaming "hey look at this guy he deserves applause", that seems to be something I'd attach more to skill obtained through sacrifice with purpose than i would with games.
