What is another word for demonisation?
Pronunciation: [dˌiːməna͡ɪzˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Demonisation, the act of portraying someone or something as evil, is a powerful tool used in news media, politics and even in interpersonal relationships. However, there are several synonyms that can be used instead of demonisation, such as vilification, stigmatisation, dehumanisation, and character assassination. Vilification implies attacking someone's reputation, stigmatisation refers to attaching a negative label to someone or something, dehumanisation involves treating someone as less than human, while character assassination is the deliberate attempt to harm someone's reputation or credibility. Regardless of the synonym used, it is important to be mindful of the potential harm caused by negative and unfair portrayals.
