glamorizations
Making things alluring
Glamorizations are acts of making something appear more attractive, exciting, or appealing than it really is.
The word typically carries disapproval—glamorizations of war or glamorizations of drug use suggest dangerous whitewashing of serious subjects.
The plural usually refers to multiple instances or patterns of such embellishment across media or culture.
