The act of making someone or something a subject of fandom and cult. Basically, many of us have a tendency to look for role models we want to be, a heroic figure who will save us from our miseries. And when we come across someone even with the slightest of the traits matching our expectations, we end up making a virtual image of that person, or a thing based on our ideals, which in reality have very little to do with the actual person/thing.
While there is nothing wrong with taking inspiration from others and having a role model to follow, it also important to acknowledge their flaws and not to idealize them. And it is very important to do more research, and know more about that person/thing, before "fanatizing" and forming a false virtual image about them.

1) Hitler was fanatized by fellow nazi germans which led to horrible things like WW2 and the holocaust.
2) You should never fanatize someone so much that you go all gaga over them and start worshiping them as gods.
3) One of the biggest problems in the world is people fanatize celebrities based on how they see them on tv or social media and blindly follow them.
