The paranormal exists; it's just very good at hiding. The Masquerade has existed for centuries now, and the Things That Go "Bump" in the Night are just fine with that, thank you. They're not going to trouble humanity, and hopefully, humanity won't trouble them.
Then... something happens. Something so big, something so visible, that plausible deniability just won't cut it anymore. Maybe some young vampire walked into the sunlight in full view of a camera crew.note Assuming, of course, that this vampire shows up on video Maybe two wizards got in a duel on Main Street. Maybe everyone's just decided to "come out of the coffin", or maybe the spread of technology made it notoriously difficult to keep things under wraps in a world where every interesting sight inevitably ends up on YouTube. Either way, the masquerade has been broken, and it will stay broken.
Welcome to a brave new world.
The Unmasqued World is a world where the supernatural has, after years of hiding, revealed itself to the world, intentionally or otherwise. In many cases, this will lead to a lot of modern twists on the fantasy genre's usual formulas and/or the integration of the supernatural into society -- vampires on the police force, wizards in the hospital, werewolves in the park service. Expect much Fantastic Racism (and perhaps a group of Zombie Advocates opposing it), as not everyone's just going to accept that the traditional horror movie monsters have decided to move next door as roommates.
A common variant is a world like ours but where the supernatural exists and has always been known to the public. This will often involve Alternate History in which supernatural forces influenced historical events.
Compare First Contact, the science fiction equivalent of this; Cosmic Horror Reveal, where the existence of Eldritch Abomination is revealed and the story shifts to a Cosmic Horror Story; Mundane Fantastic and They Walk Among Us, for when there is no segregation between the mundane and mystical worlds (and, in some cases, never was); and The Magic Comes Back for when magic stopped working some time in the past but started working again by the time the story takes place. When someone is trying to do this on purpose, see To Unmasque the World. When someone is trying to prevent this, it's usually because The World Is Not Ready.
Spoiler warning: while this trope is a basic premise for most of the examples, it is the dramatic ending of others, in which case the series name alone is a spoiler.

This trope is a huge plot point for the franchise as a whole. Before Shin Megami Tensei I, the masquerade was strong enough that it wasn't broken until the world ended and demons poured into it. But thanks to Hazama launching an entire school into the demon world during the events of Shin Megami Tensei if... both undiscreetly and prior to the events of the first game, more people have awareness of the demons and an entire alternate timeline is created, leading to the events of the Persona games. We later discover that the awareness of demons led to the ICBMs being stopped because the events of the Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha games prevented them from being launched.

In the Mermaids of Eriana Kwai trilogy, everyone in the world knows about mermaids, although most humans rarely interact with them, and undersea monarchs sign treaties with human governments. The reason the U.S. hasn't intervened in King Adaro's attacks on Eriana Kwai is because it would violate their treaty with him.

Hunter: The Vigil: Network Zero is a Compact dedicated to recording the supernatural and forcing it out of hiding by distributing knowledge of it as widely as possible. They're up against the formidable force of popular skepticism and other Hunter and supernatural groups interested in keeping up the masquerade, but they keep trying.

In The Transformers Megaseries, the Autobots and Decepticons normally conceal themselves from a planet's population, and Earth is no different at first. Then the Autobots thwart Megatron's attempts to start a war in Eastern Europe, and a furious Megatron retaliates by calling in Sixshot, a Decepticon Super-Soldier and Person of Mass Destruction. The Transformers’ existence is promptly revealed to the world as Sixshot shoots down the Autobot Ark over Tennessee and chases Ratchet across Alabama, with multiple news networks covering the destruction.

In the Aftermath of the Games universe, one of the major subplots is the human world eventually getting wise to the existence of magic and Equestria itself. The various magical battles that have taken place have been written off as fancy special effects, but Sunset realizes that people will put 2 and 2 together, and so they must prepare a controlled first contact. With the Humane 7 starting to gain magical powers of their own, and a criminal syndicate gaining interest in magic itself, the window of controlled first contact only gets smaller and smaller by the day.

This occurred in the backstory of The Dragon Doctors, when a magical society dedicated to saving victims of magic decided the best way to do it was to reveal to the public the existence of magic. There were many powerful puppet masters in charge at the time who abhorred this idea, and there was a civil war between them in every country of the world, of calendar-resetting proportions.

In Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan's Hundred Tales Arc, the villains' main ploy consists of announcing that the main character is part Youkai, and that he will bring disaster unless he is killed. He's cornered into transforming once the entire city starts hunting him down, and shortly afterwards the villains send monsters out of urban legends to attack people in broad daylight. Although the manga never goes into detail on how the populace reacts after the incident, it's made abundantly clear that everybody remembers what happened.

In the Hellboy comics, this happened offscreen. The masquerade was broken when Hellboy was found and revealed to the public instead of kept hidden away. Immediately after which the existence of the supernatural was confirmed by the government and several religions.

National Security services traditionally operate a form of masquerade; traditionally, Britain's MI:5 (domestic counter-intelligence) and MI:6 (foreign spying) didn't "officially" exist until the mid-'80s, though this was a legal fiction which everyone knew about. These days, MI:6 is happy to have its most famous (fictional... probably) operative, James Bond, emerging from its (real) London HQ!

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.:
A lot of time is spent dealing with the fallout of the unmasking that occurred in The Avengers. The show reveals that the Avengers and their supporting characters are not the only superhumans in the world, and that S.H.I.E.L.D. has a massive index of every known human with paranormal abilities. In the episode "Girl in the Flower Dress", it's also shown that S.H.I.E.L.D. actively suppresses this information to prevent the public from panicking. After the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secrets, including the Index, are now available to the public, meaning the world is now aware that the Avengers aren't an isolated example.
An example occurs within the series: until they were forced into the open, no one (except possibly a few high-ranking HYDRA leaders) had any idea about the existence of the Inhumans, thinking the odd one they ran across was simply some random superpowered human. Following the events of Season 2, knowledge of Inhumans and that aliens were involved with them is widespread (if not completely understood) around the world.

Old World of Darkness:

Mage: The Ascension has several endings that rely on getting the mortals to "wake up" to a particular view of reality, thus allowing [Insert Faction Here] to win the day, since mages/technomages basically run on mass-scale Clap Your Hands If You Believe.
Vampire: The Masquerade: Two of the proposed endgames involve the Masquerade breaking in two right before the world goes to Hell. By that point, the Antediluvians are rampaging openly across the Earth, human society is rapidly collapsing, and the world likely only has months left to live, so continuing to hide isn't really a priority anymore.

Neo claimed this as his mission at the end of The Matrix and it eventually came to pass at the end of the third movie, with anyone who realizes the illusionary nature of the world offered a conscious choice to continue living in the Matrix or join Zion in the real world. In The Matrix Online continuity, this was snapped back to the Machines no longer reinforcing the Masquerade (beyond basic damage control), and limiting their jurisdiction within the Matrix. Sheer inertia seems to keep a lot of the populace (maybe willfully) in the dark. This goes along with what Morpheus said in the first movie, where he said that adults pulled from the Matrix have trouble letting go.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey eventually becomes this. The Schwarzwelt Joint Project tries to keep the existence of the Schwarzwelt (and the demons pouring out of it) a secret by claiming it's a particularly violent ferromagnetic blizzard, but eventually this Negative Space Wedgie expands too far, and far too many demons come out, for it to be hidden from the public eye. The fact the Project eventually resorted to firebombing the entire thing with nuclear warheads (which did pretty much nothing) also might have left them in pretty hot water and with many explanations to give.

In the third season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), Triceratons stage a very public invasion of Earth. After it is repelled, things return more or less back to normal, with some subtle differences, such as anti-alien militias, a new black market for alien weaponry, and a world more ready to accept subsequent weirdness. While the turtles are still not free to show themselves on the streets, when they do, they're immediately classified as aliens.

While Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) established a Broken Masquerade when the Kraang first invaded New York, in Sacrifice (Ravenshell) the Megarift Disaster resulted in a new generation of mutants with a population so large that they cannot go unignored by New York's human population. This, combined with the Earth Protection Force's experience and resources in managing such events, led to an uneasy cohabitation with humans and mutants, allowing the Hamato Clan a chance to live out in the open without most of the fears their mutated physiologies gave them.

Shin Megami Tensei:
The first two games happen in this kind of world, since demons are running free, a demon summoner canonically ruled Tokyo between Shin Megami Tensei I and Shin Megami Tensei II, and angels and demons act like heavily militarized political parties.
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey eventually becomes this. The Schwarzwelt Joint Project tries to keep the existence of the Schwarzwelt (and the demons pouring out of it) a secret by claiming it's a particularly violent ferromagnetic blizzard, but eventually this Negative Space Wedgie expands too far, and far too many demons come out, for it to be hidden from the public eye. The fact the Project eventually resorted to firebombing the entire thing with nuclear warheads (which did pretty much nothing) also might have left them in pretty hot water and with many explanations to give.
The world of Persona 3 also becomes de facto unmasqued as the game nears its conclusion. Officially, the governments admit to nothing beyond the existence of Apathy Syndrome (and likely really don't know anything), but unofficially, a cult devoted to an Eldritch Abomination and praising its impending arrival and The End of the World as We Know It quickly comes to dominate society and the media. Thankfully, there's a Reset Button available for the right price...
Some of the endings for Devil Survivor definitely result in an unmasqued world (Yuzu's ending and Naoya/Kaido's ending) while others leave some room for interpretation (Atsuro's ending and Amane's ending).
This trope is a huge plot point for the franchise as a whole. Before Shin Megami Tensei I, the masquerade was strong enough that it wasn't broken until the world ended and demons poured into it. But thanks to Hazama launching an entire school into the demon world during the events of Shin Megami Tensei if... both undiscreetly and prior to the events of the first game, more people have awareness of the demons and an entire alternate timeline is created, leading to the events of the Persona games. We later discover that the awareness of demons led to the ICBMs being stopped because the events of the Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha games prevented them from being launched.

The premise of Dance in the Vampire Bund revolves around vampire queen Mina Tepes building a vampire district on an island in Tokyo Bay and announcing the existence of vampires to the whole world during its grand opening.

Black Blood Brothers plays this straight and then subverts it. During the Kowloon Shock everyone became aware that there were vampires, but then the government convinced them that they were all exterminated.

And again in the new Reiwa Era's premiere series Kamen Rider Zero-One: Humagear androids are a whole facet of life, so the CEO of their primary manufacturer Hiden Intelligence, Aruto Hiden (Zero-One himself), decides very early on that a cyber-terrorist cell that uses hacked Humagears to attack the city, would be easier to deal with if the company isn't also trying to cover it all up.

In RWBY, while things like Aura, Dust, and Grimm are commonplace, two factions have kept the existence of magic, Salem, and their war hidden for generations, Ozpin because it would cause mass panic, Salem because it's easier for her to operate in the shadows. As the plot unfolds, however, both sides take more drastic measures. In Volume 7 Ironwood exposes the existence of Salem to Atlas right before Salem herself arrives, and in Volume 8 Ruby sends a worldwide broadcast about Salem and the danger she poses, officially ending the masquerade.

In the second season finale of Rick and Morty, the Galactic Federation initiates First Contact with Earth and offers them membership in order to leave Rick (a fugitive for unspecified crimes against the galactic government) without a safe haven to hide in. A news broadcast mentions that the Federation has opened the planet to alien tourism, and when the family returns to Earth at the end of the episode, they pass through intergalactic customs and are greeted with several alien tourists peacefully walking the streets.
And then in the season three premiere, Rick ends up toppling the Intergalactic Government along with damaging the Government of Ricks. This causes virtually all alien activity to cease on the planet as they all proceed to leave. Despite this, humanity continues on and is not as fazed by stuff. A later episode had a psychologist unfazed by the fact Rick turned himself into a pickle (though also had a clandestine foreign government group be initially skeptical on Rick) and the President called on Rick and Morty to help with some "X-Files shenanigans" as seen in the Season 3 finale.

The Dresden Files: As of Battle Ground The Masquerade is still nominally in place, but now the information any vanilla mortal needs to understand the basics of the fair folk and others walking amongst them are available on the Internet. Following the near genocidal battle in Chicago between wizards, faries, giants, vampires, werewolves, old gods and others it's more that people are playing along with The Masquerade during daylight but most know better behind closed doors and are working to figure out how to defend and protect themselves from supernatural threats. Harry suggests that while the fair folk don't officially come out they should let themselves be seen doing things to help the city on occasion, in order to generate some good PR and give people the idea that there are supernatural beings that are on their side. Since a major reason for the Masquerade is because the supernatural beings are concerned about the fact that in a battle between them and a united humanity that's determined to destroy them the supernaturals would lose badly, they agree to this.

SCP Foundation:
There is the story hub called Broken Masquerade, devoted to a scenario where a particularly major incident destroys North Korea, and in the process the existence of the anomalous artifacts and the organizations dealing with them is revealed to the public.
It's Played for Laughs in "Everyone Knows", where the Masquerade didn't break so much as it slowly grew so big as to encompass everyone; it's officially broken in a broadcast because everyone realizes every person in the world was already a part of an anomalous group in one way or another, thus making The Masquerade completely pointless. Except for one guy, who at the end remarks to himself that he totally knew the whole time, though it's ambiguous if he's just saying that to make himself feel better or he's just bitter at being the last guy to officially be brought into the know.
SCP-4991 is a series of social media posts from an Alternate Universe where the Foundation and the other groups of interest either stepped out of the shadows a long time ago or were never a secret to begin with; the Foundation's O5 Council are all public figures, Deer College has a Twitter account, and Marshall, Carter, & Dark offer their products to the general public. Unfortunately, this also means the public knows exactly who to blame when said universe is being torn apart by man-eating anomalous insects.
SCP-5000 comes from an alternate universe or future where the Foundation announces its existence to the public with an email to every government and news outlet explaining that its goal has changed from hiding the anomalous to wiping out humanity.
There was a continuity where SCP-173 starts multiplying and takes over America. Several of them are caught on video and America is eventually nuked.
SCP-6001 is effectively a foil to 5000, being an alternate universe where, after a cold war esque scenario, the Foundation and several major G.O.I.s have formed the Compendium, effectively breaking the masquerade themselves to help anomalies (or phenoms as they are called in their universe) to integrate into society where they can, and have effectively turned Earth into a near utopia. The compendium is actually voting on whether to make First Contact with our universe, called A6K, which would presumably result in Unmasquing our universe as well. The initiative fails by one vote, but it's implied they leave the breach open, thinking that A6K will reach the same results as their universe on their own.
In the Stealing Solidarity canon, the Black Rabbit Company hijacks the Cool Starship Solidarity (SCP-2117) and teleports it into Earth orbit, which naturally draws a lot of attention on the ground. That alone might have been recoverable — the Foundation has covered up much worse than that — but then the Company blasts a hole in the Moon, wages apocalyptic war on the Eldritch Abominations within, and finally sends every website on Earth schematics for FTL-capable starships.
SCP-2273 is a Super-Soldier from an Alternate Universe which diverged when the general public found out that SCP-1000 exist. SCP-1000 decided to distribute their technology to both sides of the Cold War in the hopes humanity would wipe itself out, hence the super soldiers.
The Ad Astra Per Aspera canon is similar to the Broken Masquerade except that the Foundation made evacuating humanity from such a dangerous planet priority, and colonizing other planets.

Done very, very subtly in Power Rangers ever since the finale of Power Rangers in Space. They never actually focus on the changes because of the lack of focus on continuity, but in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue there was a government program that was quite open and public about being set up to combat a specific group of demons, Power Rangers Jungle Fury implies the ability to buy morphers on the black market ("I know a guy who knows a guy who has an uncle"), and Power Rangers Operation Overdrive casually refers to universities having courses on Galactic Myth And Legend. By the time of Power Rangers S.P.D. in 2025, Earth is a major intergalactic transit hub and the Rangers themselves are officers in an interplanetary police force.

The Whateley Universe is the post-unmasking world. Now that mutants are out in the open and their numbers are increasing, things are getting tense. The Mutant Commission Office is a Men-in-Black organization that deals with them. The Goodkinds are funding the Knights of Purity, power armor 'heroes' to take out rampaging mutants. Humanity First! is a worldwide group of mutant-haters who want to stop the mutant menace. The future is no longer clear.

The powers of Alchemy and its derivative Psynergy, which were secrets kept by the Adepts in Golden Sun and The Lost Age, are much more common knowledge in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn after the rise of the Golden Sun and The Magic Comes Back. Adept soldiers are coveted by warring nations, and more than a few kings hope to recruit the player characters for their armies, willingly or otherwise. However, since non-Adepts can't see Psynergy in action, they still generally don't understand how it works, that it follows rules, or that Adepts usually come from certain bloodlines.

X-Men: Evolution: The second season's cliffhanger is a massive brawl with a Sentinel that spills out of an underground base into a crowded city, and soon the fact that super-powered Mutants exist is broadcast live to the world. Even with the Reset Button pressed enough for the X-Men to return to high school in the next season, nothing's ever the same, and All of the Other Reindeer takes center stage (not unlike the source material).

In Supergirl, Superman has been a public figure for many years by the time the show starts, so the existence of aliens is common knowledge. While in season one there were still some deniers, by season two they began using this to provide social commentary on immigration, over time going into subjects like its effect on businesses, politics, and the rise of hate groups.

The vampire-dominated world of Daybreakers is heavily implied to have originated from this: the vampire politicians speak of having sent emissaries to humanity to negotiate a peaceful coexistence with it back when vampires were in hiding, but the emissaries were rejected and the vampires persecuted. Then the vampires' numbers grew so great that they outnumbered humans, and discretion and diplomacy no longer mattered. At the start of the movie, it's the humans who are in hiding.

Subverted at the end of The Howling, when the werewolf-bitten news reporter engineers her own transformation and silver-bullet demise live on national television. It's a subversion because everyone not already in on the werewolves' Masquerade dismissed it as a hoax.

In Matthew Laurence's Freya Series, the only supernatural elements in the world are gods - all of them. They don't exactly try to hide their divinity at street level, but they're not very keen on straight-up announcing themselves, either. This is because their power is tied to belief, and the world's gotten very cynical - tell the average citizen you're Sekhmet, for instance, and they'll know exactly who to disbelieve.

The world of Persona 3 also becomes de facto unmasqued as the game nears its conclusion. Officially, the governments admit to nothing beyond the existence of Apathy Syndrome (and likely really don't know anything), but unofficially, a cult devoted to an Eldritch Abomination and praising its impending arrival and The End of the World as We Know It quickly comes to dominate society and the media. Thankfully, there's a Reset Button available for the right price...

In the world of Teen Lit Wasteland, trying to keep up the Masquerade is the reason why the vampires all moved to Alaska, as mass media and growing human liberties meant that vampires couldn't remain secret forever. Alaska, with its sparse population, cold days, and sometimes dark summers, was a good place for them to hide out. When World War III broke out, they took over and expanded into northern Canada and Kamchatka, putting them in a position where the Masquerade no longer matters: they have their own country now, and all they need to do to stay safe is protect their borders from Canadian and Japanese incursion.

Tech Infantry: Early in the backstory, a centuries-long Masquerade was broken by the Bug invasion of Brazil, and the existence of Mages, Vampires, and Werewolves was revealed to the masses in the ensuing War of Gehenna. For the rest of the story, magical and non-magical humans live alongside each other and jointly battle aliens, although only the magical ones are subject to compulsory military service.

The Heroes of the Storm fanfic Heroes of the Desk has had this on-and-off throughout its Alternate History. During the time of the Romans it's implied there was no Masquerade...until something happened. Whatever that "something" was, it resulted in organizations like the Strategic Prevention, Extraction, and Ablation Regiment trying to rebuild/keep the Masquerade against an unready world. However, the Heroes characters blow the lid right off by appearing in the middle of BlizzCon 2015.

The first book of Fans! slowly breaks the Masquerade, as the main cast goes from thought insane to folk heroes. Later books take place more-or-less entirely in The Unmasqued World, even though the FIB try so hard to hold on to at least some secrets for another four, until the heroes take them over, too.

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Thor's (and subsequently the Destroyer's) appearance on Earth in New Mexico confirms to SHIELD, and certain civilians, that aliens exist. This sparks the need for SHIELD to pursue higher forms of weapon technology to combat extraterrestrial threats. To that end, they hijack leftover Tesseract-powered HYDRA weapons from World War II and are in the process of reverse-engineering them when Loki shows up. While the rest of the world knows about bits of the weird stuff already, they get a rude awakening to the scale of it when New York hosts an alien invasion.
This becomes a running theme of "Phase Two" of the MCU. Everybody knows who the Avengers are, that aliens exist, and that the Norse Gods live on a Magitek city floating in space.
And at the end of Black Panther (2018), the world's most advanced nation - that has taken great pains to keep its technology hidden - is revealed to the broader world after thousands of years.

Grrl Power: a bit of a Zig-Zagged Trope, as the revelations about the existence of superhumans - and of the Archon unit - was a key factor in the series' first major Story Arc. On the one hand, evidence of superhumans had been documented publicly since the 1980s, though up until the 2000s most people dismissed them as hoaxes. On the other hand, few were aware of how many there were, and even ARC Light were caught off-guard by the number of villains which attacked the team after the Archon announcement. They initially tried to keep the existence of aliens a secret after this, with Dabbler using illusions to disguise herself as human, but this was quickly scuppered when an Alari refugee ship landed in the African country owned by Deus and publicly requesting assistance from the United Nations. Whether the Veil of the Supernatural (which was created by a coalition of wizards, vampires, were-folk, The Fair Folk, and other magical beings, and probably helped hide supers and aliens as well) will hold up in the face of all of this remains to be seen.

Rosario Vampire: Brightest Darkness: During the climax of Act IV, Hokuto deliberately exposes monsters to the world with the intent to prove to Moka that his nihilism is justified and that humans and monsters could never possibly co-exist; the unmasking is cemented with Alucard's subsequent rampage. The next two acts largely center around Tsukune and co. trying to prove to the humans that not all monsters are evil.

Vampire: The Masquerade: Two of the proposed endgames involve the Masquerade breaking in two right before the world goes to Hell. By that point, the Antediluvians are rampaging openly across the Earth, human society is rapidly collapsing, and the world likely only has months left to live, so continuing to hide isn't really a priority anymore.

Stargate SG-1:
In "The Road Not Taken", Sams visite a disposable alternate universe in which Anubis' attack on Earth caused The Reveal of aliens and the Stargate Program. The United States and the world became a rough place under plebiscite-powered President Landry. This alternate universe is The Unmasqued World.
The episode "2010" takes place in Next Sunday A.D., depicting an Earth that has made peaceful contact with an alien race after years of covering up the existence of hostile aliens. The aliens have shared their technology with us, and turned Earth into a peaceful paradise. It turns out at the end of the first act of the episode that the aliens have sterilized over 90% of the population so they could turn us into docile, backwards yeoman farmers to feed their empire.

In Beetlejuice, the Maitlands are roundly criticized by their caseworker for letting the living get solid evidence of ghosts, while the Deetzes look to find a way to capitalize on their haunted house. However, it apparently didn't work out. By the end of the movie, the Deetzes are the same as ever, and while Otho apparently published the Handbook For the Recently Deceased as his own work, it seems to have been dismissed as just another crackpot New Age occult thingy.

In Peter Watts's novel Blindsight, vampires used to exist, but a genetic defect that causes them seizures when they see things with too many right angles (like buildings... and crosses) led to them being wiped out centuries ago. Modern genetic engineers have recreated them and made them useful to society, or at least to society's corporate and military overlords, who have found all sorts of applications for highly intelligent and ruthless creatures kept under control by antiseizure drugs. Obviously nothing could possibly go wrong with reconstructing a super-intelligent predator that preys specifically on humans and then giving them leadership positions...

In Dragon Ball Online and possibly its Spiritual Successor Dragon Ball Xenoverse and its sequel which take place a few centuries after the events of Dragon Ball Super, Gohan wrote a book called "Groundbreaking Science" where he explains Ki Manipulation for the general public, essentially starting a Magical Martial Arts revolution. By the year 1000 many humans are capable of using ki attacks and flight as opposed to the select few seen in the series.

In X-Men: Days of Future Past, the existence of mutants was already known within some government organizations (in fact, they had Magneto in prison), but the world at large ignored it. Then, the peace talks for Vietnam were interrupted when a blue woman that could shapeshift jumped from the window, followed by a man that controlled metals with a gesture and a blue feral man. And, as if that was not enough, this mutant levitated a stadium across a state, hurled it against the White House, extracted the panic room from it, and gave a New Era Speech for the television. Now, absolutely everybody knows about mutants.

Downplayed in Thinking In Little Green Boxes: when Harry convinces them to broadcast the Triwizard Tournament on live TV, the Wizarding World unwittingly breaks their masquerade. However, as this fic also takes place in the Marvel Comics universe (where pretty much everyone has Seen It All), the world at large is less interested in the suddenly-appearing society of magic users and more interested in betting on the outcome of the tournament.

The We Happy Few DLC "We All Fall Down" revolves around this. After being forcibly detoxed, Victoria Byng realizes that Wellington Wells isn't as bright and shiny as she thought. Plague is spreading, people are starving, and nobody notices. Victoria swears off Joy and decides it's time to stop the flow of it into the city. When she succeeds in destroying Haworth Labs, she finds that not only has most of the town murdered itself from withdrawal symptoms, but the few survivors resent her for what she's done and tell her to stay away from them. (Considering she was a huge factor in the city's downfall to start with, it's not unjustified.)

Ten thousand years later, there is still a masquerade of sorts going on for most of the Imperium. Daemons and Chaos are more understood by most of the Imperium as theological rather than literal concepts, if at all. Information on Chaos, daemons, and the Horus Heresy is actively suppressed by the Ecclesiarchy with no small amount of help by the Inquisition. If an average citizen knows anything about these things, it will either be so heavily sanitised and draped in religious symbolism that it barely resembles the real thing, or they will eventually be silenced for knowing too much. If they are somehow important or valuable, they may get away with being mind-wiped instead. Exactly how intact the masquerade is, and what information it applies to, depends on the author, and presumably where in the Imperium you are as well.

Played with in Transformers: Prime. With the exception of the lead humans, no other civilian is aware of the Cybertronians on Earth. However, the US government is aware, and regularly sends an agent to check on Prime and his crew. The trope is played completely straight as of season three, when the Decepticons launch an open assault on Earth and reveal their existence to everyone.
Strangely averted in the sequel series, Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015), where Cybertronians are once again a secret that humanity is largely unaware of.

In Kwami Magi Homura Magica Homura ends up breaking the secrecy of Magical Girls on live television by explaining everything that didn't directly lead to the knowledge of the origin of Witches. However the only reason this happened was because Nadja Chamack approached her for an interview while she was waiting to fight Ladybug for the Miraculouses, with Homura answering Nadja's questions due to the sheer audacity of Nadja approaching her with them, and to screw with Kyubey. Nadja for her part, who has interviewed superheroes and supervillains countless times, lives in a city where dinosaurs escape and run around sometimes, and had previously worked in New York, which is ''even'' crazier, isn't really phased by the idea, and the entire interview, and thus masquerade, was seemingly just to give Ladybug more information on her opponent and help her city's hero in her own way.

The Kitty Norville series stars a werewolf who hosts a late-night radio show. When she's attacked by a werewolf hunter on the air, she ends up revealing that she's a werewolf — but instead of running from it, she decides to parlay it into power, and ends up becoming a celebrity and figurehead for supernaturals across the country. Shortly after that, a government agency publicizes the existence of werewolves and vampires, up to and including DNA tests. By the time Kitty's forced into shapeshifting on live television, the matter's well enough known that the worst she suffers is an FCC fine for flashing the audience.

Sabrina Online eventually reveals that toys are sentient, with talking Transformers part of the B-plot who sometimes interact with the main anthro-animal characters. Oddly enough, not much of the world seems to change with this revelation and the main cast continues on with their lives with sort of a "meh" reaction at best to the talking Transformers figures among them.

All Assorted Animorphs AUs: At the end of "What if they were caught during their first mission?", thousands of humans and Hork-Bajir escape the Yeerk Pool. That's too many for the Yeerks to cover up, so it's the beginning of the end of the stealth invasion, far sooner than in canon.

Towards the end of Animorphs, the Yeerks become increasingly careless about covering up their invasion, starting around book 45 with the ousting and execution of Visser One, who developed the plan of slow infiltration in the first place. By the last book, they're openly occupying the ruins of an unnamed city in California, enforced by Kill Sat. Also, at the end of the series it's stated that peaceful aliens now live openly among humans.

My-HiME:
This trope seems to be in effect at first during the final arc of the anime due to the rampant destruction across the island caused by the Childs and because of near-apocalyptic natural disasters occuring across the world. Thankfully for the Hime and those associated with them, the resulting Climactic Battle Resurrection in the final episode not only covers it up, but it assures that it will never happen again because all of the chosen HiME of the current generation destroys the source of it all, the Hime Star.
Averted in its manga adaptation where Himes in this case are both commonplace (there are twelve selected every several hundred years in the anime, while in the manga they are born by the hundreds) and known to the public.

DC Extended Universe: By the end of Man of Steel, Earth is alerted to the existence of extraterrestrials thanks to General Zod's First Contact message and the climactic battle in Metropolis. The follow-up movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice reveals that other superheroes exist but they've largely either been in hiding (like Wonder Woman), operating from the shadows (like Aquaman), or were just simply not on the level of Superman and alien beings. It's also revealed there are other alien technologies that ended up on Earth (as is the case with the Motherbox that Silas Stone uses to reconstruct his son Victor's mangled body).

In the MonsterVerse, MONARCH has been covering up the existence of Kaiju for a very long time, at least back to 1954, including Godzilla, Shinomura, the MUTOs, and Kong. This Masquerade gets shattered when the male MUTO awakens from hibernation, kicking off a chain of events that leaves several major cities in ruin and ends with a brawl in the middle of San Francisco, all of which was caught on national news.

In Rom Spaceknight, the eponymous hero initially has a tough time hunting down his shapeshifting enemies, The Dire Wraiths, who have infiltrated Earth so thoroughly that they have little trouble convincing everyone that Rom himself is the menace. However, when a new faction of the Wraiths takes over, they pull the big blunder of openly attacking SHIELD at their helicarrier base; and suddenly the Earth governments have all the evidence they need to know that Rom was telling the truth after all. They throw their full military and intelligence resources behind the Spaceknight.

Before the events of Independence Day, the existence of aliens (revealed when a scout ship had crashed in Roswell in 1947) had been kept a secret to everyone, even the president, which was effective until said aliens came to destroy humanity.

The Shibuya Incident in Jujutsu Kaisen resulted in the existence of cursed spirits becoming public knowledge. The damage and causalities were too great to cover up, exceeding any supernatural event in modern history.

Magic: The Gathering takes place in a multiverse of magical worlds, where only the (extremely rare) Planeswalkers have the ability to travel between them; most people thus live and die under the belief that their own world is the only world. This gets blown to hell in March Of The Machines, when the Phyrexians launch a massive invasion of dozens of worlds across the multiverse simultaneously using interplanar portals called omenpaths. By the time the Phyrexians are defeated, the omenpaths are still active, meaning not only is the existence of the multiverse now common knowledge, but ordinary people can travel between worlds.

The Secret World takes place in a setting that is gradually shifting in this direction, since prior to the bombing in Tokyo most of the occult world was kept relatively hidden and everyone tended to like things that way. It let the Illuminati stay in power, it let the Dragon work their calculations undisturbed, and it helped the Templars deal with occult threats quietly and more easily prevent outbreaks of crazy wizards and monsters when occult information was kept under lock and key. However, when the Morninglight cult triggered a massive bomb spraying the Filth everywhere in Tokyo, the entirety of the Kaidan district in Tokyo had to be locked down, and several other major events erupted across the globe: a mysterious fog sweeping over an island in Maine, an army of mad sun-worshiping cultists rampaging in Egypt, and vampires emerging in Transylvania, along with running battles with eldritch monsters in downtown Tokyo and Manhattan. These events are rapidly pushing the ability of the secret societies to keep things hidden to their breaking point, and it's only a matter of time before even their ability to suppress the secret world is overwhelmed.

The Body Reflects the Heart, the Shadow Reflects the Soul: The very premise is that the barrier between the real world and the Metaverse has been so damaged by so many infiltrations so close together that Shadows can now spawn in the real world, and it may take years, even decades, for the two worlds to properly separate. With that being the case, the Persona-users are perfectly candid to the general public about the nature of the threat and their powers, and while Mitsuru, for one, is worried about people abusing the knowledge, she concedes that the alternative is leaving a lot of innocent people ignorant to the threat and thus unprepared to defend themselves.

Glass (2019): One of the things Dr. Staple points out to convince the main characters they're imagining their superpowers is to ask why there was nobody else with superpowers anywhere else. This turns out to be hugely important when it's revealed she's part of a conspiracy designed to keep down supers who kill those who they can't gaslight. Elijah exploits the many security cameras to record everything and sends it to the loved ones of the supers who are killed. The film ends with the 3 people who cared most about the 3 supers killed waiting at a train station as the world reacts to the video they spread around.

Transformers: Robots in Disguise is an interesting case. While it's implied (though never stated) that the Transformers and their war are secret, and the general public does not know about the giant alien robots, it seems that every few episodes a random human involved with [insert plot-relevant group here] knows who Optimus Prime, Megatron, or at least one of said giant alien robots is and which ones are the good guys. The extent and existence of The Masquerade seems to depend on how necessary it is for humanity to know about the Transformers.

Thor's (and subsequently the Destroyer's) appearance on Earth in New Mexico confirms to SHIELD, and certain civilians, that aliens exist. This sparks the need for SHIELD to pursue higher forms of weapon technology to combat extraterrestrial threats. To that end, they hijack leftover Tesseract-powered HYDRA weapons from World War II and are in the process of reverse-engineering them when Loki shows up. While the rest of the world knows about bits of the weird stuff already, they get a rude awakening to the scale of it when New York hosts an alien invasion.

In the Young Justice fanfic, With This Ring, despite the fact that places like Atlantis and heroes like Doctor Fate were around, very few people believed in magic. Then Klarion became responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths and they couldn't ignore it. Then Orange Lantern reveals to the world that the afterlife and gods are very real in an interview with Cat Grant, citing how Teth Adom was resurrected from the dead and given his power. This is notable after Wonder Woman (made from Olympian Gods) had been around for ages and a literal Hell on Earth scenario.

Warhammer 40,000: During the founding of the Imperium, the Emperor established the Imperial Truth, which founded the Imperium's official point of view as a scientific, atheistic empire. Even psychic phenomena was explained in mundane terms rather than treated as magic. Though there were a few hiccups with unexplained monsters and a cult dedicated to worshiping the Emperor as a god (much to his chagrin, and largely spread by a man who was one of his sons and chosen top commanders no less), the early Imperium was a secular and reasoned place. That all shattered during the Horus Heresy, where Horus, son of the Emperor and apple of his eye, brought the legions of Chaos to Earth. Now the Imperium is a theocratic, Luddite empire where people believe in magic, gods and daemons, because they really are out there.
Ten thousand years later, there is still a masquerade of sorts going on for most of the Imperium. Daemons and Chaos are more understood by most of the Imperium as theological rather than literal concepts, if at all. Information on Chaos, daemons, and the Horus Heresy is actively suppressed by the Ecclesiarchy with no small amount of help by the Inquisition. If an average citizen knows anything about these things, it will either be so heavily sanitised and draped in religious symbolism that it barely resembles the real thing, or they will eventually be silenced for knowing too much. If they are somehow important or valuable, they may get away with being mind-wiped instead. Exactly how intact the masquerade is, and what information it applies to, depends on the author, and presumably where in the Imperium you are as well.
The Masquerade was broken entirely at the end of 8th edition, when the Great Rift opened and daemonic invasions occured en masse across the entire galaxy, thus revealing their existence to the entire Imperium; granted, to what extent the average Imperial citizen understands what's happening varies, and knowledge of the Horus Heresy and Traitor Primarchs still seems to be hidden from most people, but the existence of Chaos as a whole is now impossible to hide. It was replaced by self enforcing version: Go Mad from the Revelation leads to a swift visit from the Inquisition without complaints. Or else.

El Goonish Shive:
At the end of "New and Old Flames," Arthur tells a reporter, regarding film of Elliot/Cheerleadra fighting a fire golem, that "what was seen was what was," the first public acknowledgment that magic exists. From then on, deniers of magic's existence are held tantamount to moon hoaxers.
In "Sister III," Pandora, who has been attempting to create this situation for years, finally succeeds. It had previously been revealed that when this happens the "Will of Magic" must decide whether or not to reset everything so the rules are once again unknown to the vast majority and everyone has to start learning magic all over again. The Will of Magic bases its decision on whether or not to allow the world to remain unmasqued, on advice from extremely rare wizards called seers if any exist.note extremely rare meaning 1 in 7 million humans and the default decision being to go ahead with the reset Only those seers who have used magic and don't know they can advise the Will of Magic in this situation are eligible to (so they can't game it). This time, the eligible seers manage to convince magic to leave things more or less as they are which finally ends the cycle of the Masquerade periodically being broken and restored over and over again for millennia.

CthulhuTech straddles the line on this one; magic was made public quite a while back in the form of "arcanotech," and the government hands out licenses to sorcerers. On the other hand, since it's that kind of setting, the government's keeping mum about the really bad stuff...

In The Laundry Files, this is the great fear of occult intelligence as CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN (a.k.a., the stars coming right) approaches. More brains means more perception of eldritch phenomena, and as eldritch phenomena thrive on the observer effect, more people will start realizing you can make your own miracles by calling down the gribbly brain-eaters from outer space. By the time of The Annihilation Score, it has become public knowledge that people are appearing with superpowers, though it's still kept secret why this is happening.
While badly fraying at the edges at the end of The Annihilation Score, by the end of The Nightmare Stacks it has been well and truly broken by the invasion of The Host of Air And Darkness while The Delirium Brief deals with the immediate aftermath.

The Mirage-published Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic featured a rare intentional unmasquing when the alien Utroms reveal their existence to Earth and offer to share their technology; within months, Earth's technology level has been increased tenfold, and the planet has been opened to alien travel and commerce. (This leads to a slightly ironic situation where the turtles themselves are free to walk the streets...as long as they tack on a few prosthetics and claim to be alien visitors.)

A variation occurs in the first Jurassic Park trilogy. After the events of the first movie, the sequel reveals that InGen covered up the incident on Isla Nublar and discredited anyone who tried to blow the whistle on them, especially Ian Malcolm. Then a T. rex rampages through San Diego, revealing the existence of resurrected dinosaurs; the third movie finally establishes that the world now knows about the dinos on both Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna, with access to the islands restricted by international agreement.

Doctor Who: Aliens become common knowledge. When the Broken Masquerade happened isn't clear, though it seems that the world was unmasqued some time during the course of the 2005 revival and its spinoffs Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. The Doctor says it happens during the Sycorax invasion, but the earlier Slitheen invasion seems just as likely. note While the Slitheen were never found out by the public, they crashed a fake "space pig" into Big Ben as part of their plan. Later stories, however, seem to ignore this, with most people still refusing to believe in the existence of aliens. Sometimes it's because some spacetime incident literally made it so that the event never happened (the Earth being stolen by the Daleks and taken across the universe and back in the Series 4 finale is explicitly cited as an event erased by the time cracks central to Series 5's story arc); other times, it's just people thinking it was publicity for a movie or some sort of viral stunt.

A lot of time is spent dealing with the fallout of the unmasking that occurred in The Avengers. The show reveals that the Avengers and their supporting characters are not the only superhumans in the world, and that S.H.I.E.L.D. has a massive index of every known human with paranormal abilities. In the episode "Girl in the Flower Dress", it's also shown that S.H.I.E.L.D. actively suppresses this information to prevent the public from panicking. After the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secrets, including the Index, are now available to the public, meaning the world is now aware that the Avengers aren't an isolated example.

The world of Sorcery 101 at first appears to be a straight example of this trope. Then you find out that most people think that it's a stunt and that there are groups still trying to keep the masquerade going. But more of the supernatural people are being more open and things are changing. At one point a guy comes out as gay to his best friend and his best friend accidentally revealing that he's a werewolf. They're portrayed to be about as shocking to each of the friends.

While the actual unmasking happened during the movie, The Real Ghostbusters took place in a world where ghosts, demons and ancient gods have all been proven real and are common knowledge. Things haven't actually changed much: when faced with a supernatural problem at the start of an episode, civilians typically throw up their hands and say "call the Ghostbusters, let them deal with it."

This is implied to happen sometime after the ending of Big Trouble in Little China, as the film opens with a lawyer questioning Egg Shen about what caused the giant green fireball that appeared over San Francisco's Chinatown (and Egg Shen casually whipping out some lightning to convince the lawyer that yes, shit just got real).

In Justina Robson's Quantum Gravity series, an accident with a particle accelerator has reduced most of the continental United States to a series of islands and revealed parallel realities housing dragons, elves, demons, faries, and other such creatures. This is news to Humanity, but these other worlds claim that Earth (which they call Ootopia), and themselves, have been there all along. This difference in POV is never reconciled, but most people don't care and simply think Elvish rock stars are cool.

The Mercy Thompson series features a world where The Fair Folk came out of the closet years ago, albeit intentionally and in a far more controlled method than the typical Broken Masquerade. It didn't end well, with religious conservatives and bigots railing against the fae and eventually creating voluntary reservations for them. (Which is actually exactly what the fae leaders wanted them to do in the first place.) After the events of the first book, the universe's werewolves decide to reveal some of their population as well, with a bit more success. Stefan the vampire anticipates the day when his people will come out of the coffin. He's working on ways for vampires to cure blood-borne diseases in order to gain some public good will and hopefully smooth over the whole "feeding on humans" bump. So far no one else has come out publicly, but with first fairies and now werewolves unmasqued, people are starting to question what else is out there.

The premise for True Blood is just this trope: Vampires exist! And this girl's telepathic, and there's a werewolf/shapechanger man-thing, and other stuff, though the general public only know about vampires.
The series also lightly touches on (but often veers away from) how much the other supernatural communities don't want this to happen to them, because they don't necessarily have the media empire and spin engine of vampires. The Season 5 finale briefly looks like it's going to go into this when Luna's shapeshifting gives out on live television while she's impersonating Steve Newman, but the most that comes of it is a pan human-supernatural advocacy group trying to muster up support for a public push and swiftly getting torn apart by Alcide's pack.

UQ Holder!, set some 80 years after the end of Negima! Magister Negi Magi, shows a picture of the world in which magic has become general knowledge. In fact, the unmasquing led to some radical changes in the balance of power across the globe, and the development of "magic apps" (basically spells you can buy rather than learn to use yourself) lead to some extreme class differences. Half of Tokyo is now seemingly a gigantic slum, with its inhabitants seen as "vermin" who need to be cleared out... by hiring mercenaries to raid the place and blow everything up, uncaring about the casualties or even deaths that result.

Arrowsmith is set in Alternate History where, at the forging of the Peace of Charlemagne (the Pax Nicephori in the real world), the various hidden magical races of the world decided to make their existence openly known to humanity, also joining in the peace treaty. The United States of America is actually the United States of Columbia in this series, which takes place during this world's version of World War I. Dryads, trolls, dwarves, etc. live among humanity, magic co-exists side-by-side with technology. The Industrial Revolution is causing a magical revolution, as spells become mass-produced for the first time in human history.

Rifts: Set After the End, the moment the titular rifts opened and awakened the world to magic, psionics, extradimensional alien races, cosmic horrors, etc is pretty well described. The Coming of the Rifts wiped out 90% of humanity, and left the remainder too busy fighting for survival to do things like keep society going. The game takes place about 300 years After the End when humanity has finally started clawing its way out of the chaos. The spinoff game Rifts: Chaos Earth takes place while it's happening.

Scion: The first edition took place in a world that appears just like ours, where it's expected that the second war against the Titans will cause the Masquerade to be ripped in half as the children of the gods wage war against monsters. The second edition instead creates a world that isn't so much "unmasqued" as it is "flimsy disguise." While it looks just like ours, the presence of gods and monsters is there if you know where to look: The Nordic government has troll preserves, and you can order a taurobolium at the OB/GYN to make sure your baby comes out healthy. With all that, though, full knowledge of the role of the divine in everyday life isn't known to the general public... yet.

The Hollows series by Kim Harrison is set years after a virus from a genetically altered tomato wiped out most of the human race — 'supernatural' people, like witches, vampires and weres, were immune or less affected, so ended up revealing themselves when they realized their combined numbers nearly outnumbered humans in an event called The Turn.

The Sourcebook Mirrors presents options for Unmasquing the world, such as a massive Awakening, the Gauntlet partially dissolving and allowing spirits free reign, or a vampire rock star becoming famous enough to the point where people notice he doesn't show up on cameras.
Hunter: The Vigil: Network Zero is a Compact dedicated to recording the supernatural and forcing it out of hiding by distributing knowledge of it as widely as possible. They're up against the formidable force of popular skepticism and other Hunter and supernatural groups interested in keeping up the masquerade, but they keep trying.

Housepets!: At the end of the "Heckraiser" arc a significant chunk of humanity, including eighty percent of high government officials, are transformed into random animals, leading to magic(k) getting studied as a science and several animal rights laws passed overnight.

Explored in the third season finale of Charmed when the Charmed Ones are caught by a local news team while on the job, revealing the existence of witches and demons to the world and causing a massive media circus at their house. The situation is so dire that both forces of good and evil cooperate to rewind time in order to undo the damage.

Occurs in Hellboy II: The Golden Army, first when Hellboy is blown out a window and lands in the street in the middle of a group of reporters, and then when the Big Bad summons a forest elemental to kill him on a city block below one end of the Brooklyn Bridge.

As of the comics seasons, this is now well and truly the case for the Buffyverse what with LA being transported to Hell and back and vampires having reality TV shows.

In Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen, the Fallen decides to reveal their existence to the entire human race, breaking the government cover-up. By Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the Autobots are subjects of news coverage, Sentinel Prime is able to contact the UN to order them to kick the Autobots off Earth, and Simmons debates with Bill O'Reilly on whether or not the US should support the Autobots (poll results show that the US would feel safer without them).

This happens in the eighth (and final) book in the Artemis Fowl series, The Last Guardian. Opal Koboi had her past self killed, creating a time paradox that destroyed every bit of technology created or influenced by her in the last five years. This means about 75% of all machines, both on the surface and underground had catastophic failures. While one would think this would help the masquerade, since cameras and other such equipment are now completely destroyed, this breaks the masquerade wide open since a large part of The People's tech was hiding themselves from "the Mud Men" (their name for humans).

At the end of Hotel Transylvania, the monsters that have been in hiding from humans for centuries finally reveal themselves at what just so happens to be a festival populated by monster-loving nerds, who all immediately cheer in celebration at finding out monsters actually exist. By the second film, the entire world has come to acknowledge and accept monsters, even thinking of them as celebrities.

In Transformers: Cybertron they're back to being urban legends again. This was due to some miscommunication between the American and Japanese promoters—in the original Japanese it was supposed to be an entirely different continuity.

The Arithmancer series ends with Hermione proving that surveillance and the Internet will eventually make the Statute of Secrecy untenable, and the best option is a controlled reveal. The final chapter reviews the speech that she's about to give on as many media platforms as possible.

Men in Black: The Series ends with a two-parter Grand Finale, where an Alien Invasion of Earth results in the MIB being forced to reveal the existence of aliens so that the whole world can fight for survival. But it's ultimately subverted in the ending, when the MIB agents are being awarded for saving the planet, they take the opportunity to neuralize everyone on Earth and make them forget the entire truth about aliens. Status Quo Is God indeed!

In To the Stars in the Post-Madoka future, the magical girls had to reveal themselves to help the save humanity from the Alien Invasion. Further complicating things afterwards is the acknowledgement by the magical girls that they manipulated the human society for the past five hundred years (ever since Madoka's changes to the world let them become a powerful world-wide organization instead of scattered bands of demon hunters). Given that the world ended up a nicer place for that, the public is generally understanding - but some fringe elements view them with utmost distrust, either as haughty superhumans or the puppets of the Incubators that made them what they are.

This is what happens at the end of the YuYu Hakusho manga, with the demons making themselves known to the humans so their worlds could start intermingling with each other. There are already Cute Monster Girl actresses showing up on TV. It's worth noting that the reveal is gentle enough that the reality has yet to be fully accepted by much of the populace. It helps that most of the ones crossing over are humanoid and quite reasonable; they know to play it cool and just want to see what all the excitement's about.

Harry and the Shipgirls established from the beginning that the Statute of Secrecy was on borrowed time, as exposure to Shipgirls and Abyssals made it impossible for the Memory Charm to work. Eventually, a series of events saw the Statute fall, with world leaders revealing the magical side of things to the whole planet.
First, to avoid impeachment, President Quahog of MACUSA and the upper echelons of his administration went into hiding in a secret bunker, taking 1/4 of the global Auror population and massive bank loans with them. The ramifications reduced the time the Statute would fall to a mere two weeks.
Second, a Canadian Kaiju called Gougou attacked the port town of Bathurst. With Shipgirls, elves, frost giants, and dragons joining forces to defeat the ancient predator, all on live TV, the Statute was doomed to fail the instant the beast surfaced.

Transformers:
The third season of the original The Transformers makes the jump from 1984 to 2006, where the Autobots are common knowledge to humanity. Though the masquerade lasted until the end of first episode when Megatron attacked an oil rig and the Autobots stepped in to stop him. Shortly after governments of Earth throw their support behind the Autobots.
Averted in Transformers: Animated, where the Autobots are common knowledge to begin with, and are treated as the superheroes of 22nd century Detroit.
Played with in Transformers: Prime. With the exception of the lead humans, no other civilian is aware of the Cybertronians on Earth. However, the US government is aware, and regularly sends an agent to check on Prime and his crew. The trope is played completely straight as of season three, when the Decepticons launch an open assault on Earth and reveal their existence to everyone.
Strangely averted in the sequel series, Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015), where Cybertronians are once again a secret that humanity is largely unaware of.
The fourth season of Transformers: Rescue Bots has the Rescue Bots dropping their facade of being non-sentient robots when previously only a select few of Griffin Rock's citizens were in on the secret.
Transformers: Cyberverse begins with a relatively small number of Autobots and Decepticons covertly operating on Earth. This ends with first episode of season 2. Transformers are the subject of viral videos, battles between Autobots and Decepticons regularly make the news, and Optimus Prime has publicly announced his intent to defend Earth for as long as Decepticons threaten it.

Gravity Falls has slowly become this after "Society of the Blind Eye", as the titular society is no longer acting as a Memory-Wiping Crew; In "Northwest Mansion Mystery", Dipper's encounter with a giant bat makes newspaper front pages, leading him to be hired by Pacifica to exorcise a ghost. The final episode hints that after Bill Cipher is destroyed and Weirdmageddon stopped, the citizens have learned to integrate the abnormal into their daily lives; Farmer Sprott is seen chasing eyeball bats out of his barn, ("Git outta there, you ornery critters!") and zombies slowly rise from their graves outside the Valentino funeral home, which Robbie's parents take in stride, even casually asking Robbie to "Fetch us the sawed-off shotgun". Granted, this is still contained with the titular town due to a metaphysical barrier of weirdness, and in the final episode, Mayor Cutebiker passes the "Never Mind All That" Act that forbids town citizens from discussing the events of the finale with the outside world.

Sunshine by Robin McKinley is based on this, centering around a human protagonist who lives a fairly mundane life in the world post "Voodoo Wars" where protective talismans are the norm, certain geological areas can make you go insane if you enter them, magic users work for the government and everybody knows if the vampires get you, you're dead. Said protagonist encounters said vampires...
