[General] Why aren't people allowed to know about the supernatural existing?

Be it the SCP Foundation, The Secret World, Devil May Cry, Charmed, Vampire the Masquerade or Supernatural, regular people are either not taught that supernatural entities exist or they actively hindered to gain knowledge about them and I always wonder why.

I kind of understand the whole point of trying to prevent a mass panic, but with how common incidents involving demons and monsters actually are, I think the supernatural would become natural pretty quickly. 

And wouldn't it also help to lower the casualties of demon and monster attacks, if your regular Joe knows that they exist?

In Dresden Files series, there is a unsaid rule to not involve vanilla mortals(general population) into the dealings of the supernatural.

It's said that while humanity as a whole is weak, but they get dangerous when they get scared of the unknown. Humanity has numbers and now, nukes.


So while a Vampire lord can come and kill a whole city, but when Humanity realizes that there are these creatures hidden among them, they strike back like a cornered animal.

Most recent book spoilers.

>![In the latest book(Battle Ground) this rule is broken where half the city of Chicago and probably US gov agencies now know there is supernatural in the world, we'll see the consequences in the future books.]
