Lovewashing 

Lovewashing (a compound word modeled on "whitewash"), refers to beliefs and behaviors that are used as an attempt to oversimplify complex issues by proposing that love should be sufficient to address any given situation.
This is most often used superficially, where what is invoked are the aesthetics of love and not the actual emotional labor required to ensure that love is truly being embodied, communicated and received. Little to no considerations are given for the complexe competencies required for love to be truly cultivated and almost all attention is place on the theatrics of love.

Often used by people who are unwilling to look at the implications of their behaviour, unwilling to take responsibility for how their behaviour is incoherent with their professed beliefs and who, above all else, want to preserve a positive self image.

"That hippy is really trying to lovewash his way out of this problem",

"She keeps saying that we should just vibe and smile. That's some grade A lovewashing right there"

lorewashing 

Lorewashing is when a movie or a tv show corporation decide to do a new take on a established book or video game lore because they decide that the story is of little importance to them and that they can modify masterpieces at their will.

They qualify it of "new", "unique" and "attractive".

Outside of the exception of some movies, most of the lorewashing victims are thrown in oblivion of the public memories. They usually come with a ton of CGI, bad jokes, akward moments and are frozen in the modern time instead if being legacy work.

Famous examples: Eragon, DnD, Wheel of Time, Narnia, Disney erasement of the Star Wars extended universe .

I hate lorewashing.

Why using the name of an author book serie to lorewash it after?
