That is the risk (I think) for the wesen if they come out. One bad wesen would be enough for a complete wesen hunting.
In reality, I don't think it would be that way, Adriano. It would probably be more of the opposite. In order for a human to be aware of a "bad wesen", that wesen not only has to woge but while woged do something bad. And even then, the circumstances are flimsy at best. For example, look at the way people view Nick and Trubel before they found out they were grimms. They "saw" things, things they couldn't explain. However, Nick himself never once said he got the feeling they were all "bad". It would have been interesting to get Trubel's impression of a wesen who simply woged at her, and then, did absolutely nothing and went about doing its business.
The issue I have always had with the series is its tendency to make humans look like ancient idiots who can't get over primal tendencies. At the same time, the series never really dealt seriously with human/woged wesen interactions. Both Wu and Hank were portrayed as basket cases when they encountered wesen. These guys would have seen the ugliest and foulest of human society. So would they really go bonkers seeing something they think is a werewolf when compared to a sick serial killer? That just seems way over the top to me. But, it's an extrance for the calm and ever wonderful Nick to step in and save the day without breaking a sweat.
We have to consider the series takes place in America and that is probably a huge detriment. What if the series took place in Nepal and wesen lived freely in the mountains? There are many small villages there and Buddhist monks live in the high altitudes as well. Would these people really view another human, especially one that is somewhat gifted or impaired as the result of being wesen as a threat?
You have a point... to be aware of a bad wesen the bad wesen was suppose to bad things in woge mode. But in the series wesendoesn't woge offten since they can't do it in public. What would happen if wesen could freely woge in their normal day life? A criminal wesen for exemple, would he go to full woge while murdering someone, for example, just to use his full strength advantage?
Some wesen would still hide his nature. Others would probably use his wesen nature.
Another point: if everyone knows wesen exist, who can be sure that DNA tests wouldn't be made to know who is wesen and who is not?
You are right about the Buddhist monks. But for example, what about if the series took place on Irak or Syria? Wouldn't the terrorist groups try to get as most wesen as they can to their army?
What about radical religious groups: who can say there wouldn't be any radical group saying wesen were devil's creatures?
My point is that we have all types of human beings on earth. We have the Buddhist monks and we also have the terrorists people. So we would also have all kind of reactions to wesen too. We would have people claiming they are alliens. We would have people saying they are gods. Other people would say they are deamons. We would have people saying they are just humans. We would have people saying they are monsters. We would have people wanting friendship and we would have people wanting blood.
When we see a person individually, I agree with you that people are not so stupid. But when we see the person in a group, I am not so optimistc about them.
