History Main / ToUnmasqueTheWorld

This is usually more complicated than it sounds. There are government organizations, if not worse, dedicated to keeping the masquerade, and who aren't above taking drastic measures to deal with people who [[HeKnowsTooMuch learn too much]] about the secret world. It usually takes more than just a few werewolves on [=YouTube=] to get people to believe. Poking the problem too much can easily get you killed. And that's assuming the person is one of the good guys. Many plots revolve around trying to keep the villain from murdering people as part of their plan to unmasque the world.

* ''Series/{{Forever|2014}}'': In the flashbacks of "Social Engineering, Henry's wife, Nora, who had sent him to an asylum decades before because he told her he was immortal, shows up at the hospital Henry is now working at. Having seen his picture in the paper, she now believes in his immortality. She wants Henry to tell the world about his "miracle," and when he refuses, she tries to shoot him in public so that others will be able to see it's real.

* ''Series/{{Highlander}}'' had an [[AncientTradition organization]] of [[TheWatcher Watchers]] whose purpose was to document the otherwise secret lives of immortals. One third-season storyline involved a Watcher who was discovered and murdered by an immortal. The Watcher's widow decided to exact revenge on both immortals and Watchers for their role in her husband's death by attempting to expose their secret world to the media.

* ''Website/SCPFoundation'': One of the main goals of [[AnimalWrongsGroup The Serpent's Hand]] outside of freeing supernatural entities from the SCP Foundation's custody is to make the existence of the anomalous a public and accepted phenomenon. They believe that the rise of the supernatural should be accepted by humanity and [[MenInBlack the Foundation's insistence on hiding the anomalous]] for the sake of "normalcy" is a pointless endeavor.

* ''Literature/JuniperSawfeather'': June wants to show the world that mermaids are real because if she can prove that there are sentient beings in the ocean, people will care more about protecting the environment. For that very reason, [[ToxicInc Affron Oil]] has been trying to capture mermaids before anyone else sees them.

* A major part of the top villains' agenda in ''[[Creator/LisaShearin The SPI Files]]'' is to rip the Masquerade to shreds, whether by unleashing monsters in New York's Times Square during the New Year's Eve festivities or executing a mass cross-dimensional kidnapping of [=VIP=]s in Vegas.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16211390/chapters/48898709#workskin Honoka's Bizarre Adventure]]'': The Yoshida Conglomerate's ultimate plan is to expose [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Stands]] to the public. [[spoiler:Using Hayato Kawajiri's Stand [Violent Pornography] and the various Stand-weilding idols during the ''Franchise/LoveLive'' event, they plan to make Stands visible through electronic media for both Stand users and non-Stand users]].

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'': One of the main goals of [[AnimalWrongsGroup The Serpent's Hand]] outside of freeing supernatural entities from the SCP Foundation's custody is to make the existence of the anomalous a public and accepted phenomenon. They believe that the rise of the supernatural should be accepted by humanity and [[MenInBlack the Foundation's insistence on hiding the anomalous]] for the sake of "normalcy" is a pointless endeavor.
