Putting a category of people on a pedestal can easily turn into categorism, both against the category thus being sacralized and against the opposite category.

* Sacralizing one side of a [[dichotomy]] easily turns into [[demonization|demonizing]] the other side.
* Meanwhile, it makes it easy to set unreasonable standards for the people in the sacralized category – standards which are being unreasonably high, being arbitrary and/or being suffocating. Either way, this can lead to [[invisibilization|invisibilizing]], harassing, [[demonization|demonizing]] or otherwise mistreating those who fails or refuses to fit the standards.
* It may even lead to stop seeing people in the sacralized category as being fully human individuals, instead seeing them as [[monolithization|avatars of the category]].
* It can also be used as a tool for [[exploitation|exploiting ]] people in the category. “Since you are so inherently good, you are of course expected to do this and this and this for me”.
* It can also go hand in hand with [[Infantilization|infantilizing]] them, trying to protect their presumed virtue and innocence from anything which doesn't fit the stereotype and which is therefore treated as being [[tabooization|taboo]].

Sacralizing a category also goes hand in hand with being [[supremacism|supremacist]] in favor of said category.
