n. The tendency of the well-to-do to seek gritty reference points, and perhaps to directly give patronage, sometimes reaching the point of co-dependency, perhaps en masse with certain artists, actors and musicians, and/or to re-package towards their own voyeuristic enjoyment as inspirational, entertaining, dirty, real; perhaps to compensate for a felt or perceived lack in their own lives, or for comparison. As such, detached from the reality and compassionately pertinent facts, and/or detached from the effect their interest or patronage may have.
