Rose washing

The process of changing the events of a story or history to make it appear more pleasant than reality at the expense of the cold hard truth.

Often to present an agenda in misleading facts to make some historical events or periods more attractive to modern audiences. Downplaying unethical choices made in the past.

Or seen in movies and TV, where producers ignore original source facts to construct a story of their own liking. For instance:
Turning as novel about both sides in a war committing atrocities to good guys vs bad guys, establishing a clear direction in narrative to influence audience bias.

I can't believe they are rose washing the story of Alexander Hamilton! They ignored his contributions to slavery!

Het-Washing

The act of historians intentionally reframing historically queer relationships as platonic friendships in order to 'wash' queer identity from history.

"I was shocked to learn that the two English artist bros who lived together for 50 years as confirmed bachelors, who never married, who shared a bed because their bromance was so strong, who kept up daily written correspondence their entire lives turned out to just be roommates! Thanks, Het-Washing for sanitizing my view of history!

Ball washing

It is when you approach someone kindly then get aggressively abused on the backend.

Do you want the gap insurance for your car?

Hey bro, are you ball washing me?
