Definition of «glaze»

"Glaze" refers to the act of excessively praising, overhyping, or being overly complimentary toward someone or something, often to an annoying or sycophantic degree. In the context of gaming, a 'glaze sim' or 'glazing' suggests a social environment where players are constantly flattering one another or the game itself. The term implies that the praise is so thick and sugary that it becomes performative or insincere. It is commonly used as a critique of fanbases or friend groups that refuse to acknowledge any flaws in their favorite subjects.
