valorized
Treated as heroic
Valorized means elevated in value or status, treated as worthy of esteem.
The term often carries a critical edge, suggesting that something has been given more importance than it deserves or that the elevation serves an agenda: The film valorized violence as a solution to conflict.
In economics, to valorize is to artificially maintain or raise prices, especially of commodities.
