emotionalized
Infused with sentiment
Emotionalized means made emotional or given emotional character.
Something emotionalized has been infused with feeling or presented in a way that appeals to emotions rather than reason: The debate became emotionalized when personal attacks replaced policy discussion.
The term often carries a faintly critical edge, suggesting emotion has been added where it doesn't belong.
