Quote:For the most part, Portland’s human residents were presented as ignoring the unexplainable. Considering the number of violent Wesen Nick dealt with over six seasons, it’s not believable there wouldn’t have been humans who refused to remain silent after witnessing or escaping brutal attacks by huge animal like creatures. Yet, I don’t recall Nick worrying about some guy who wouldn’t stop talking or being hounded by a reporter who thought there might be something worth a closer look.
In contrast, the existence of HW established that certain levels of government not only knew about Wesen and Grimm but were prepared to deal with Wesen issues that threatened to disrupt the status quo. Yet, any spillover of the HW/BC conflict was evidently satisfactorily explain to the human residents or they completely missed it happening in their city.
I can disprove your theory with one word UFO abductions. Most of the population ignore and don't believe these claims. Yet have have a number of group that consider themselves UFO hunters. You also have funding by the government for UFO projects. Replace UFO with wesen and you see why their existence would not change the population of Portland. You would also see how you could have a government sponsored organization like HW. Without the government acknowledging that wesen exist.
Consider knowing someone is an alien how long do you think it would take before either some group would want to kill it for rear of an invasion. Or the government would put it in a cage to study it. This is what the show uses as an explanation why wesen do not expose that they exist.
You would think that all the unexplained death we saw on the show would raise suspension. That is until you do research and realize that what we saw is a drop in the buck to the unexplained deaths and events that happen in real life. Take spontaneous combustion. Scientist have come up with all kind of theories how it occurs but they really do not know.
