fetishistic

Irrationally devoted to

Fetishistic describes excessive, irrational devotion to something—often with connotations of obsession or worship.

In psychology, it specifically refers to sexual arousal from objects or non-genital body parts: fetishistic attachment to leather, fetishistic focus on feet.

More broadly, it suggests treating something with unwarranted reverence: a fetishistic devotion to process over results.
