Just like being in a mob
Not really. Everybody knows that a mob exists. It is more a game of cat and mouse with them.
In practice, the NPCs of Bloodlines seem to be rather at peace with many supernatural phenomena. If we add to this the belief of some people ( I'm talking about the World of Darkness), that vampires exist, Masquarade it is not that different from mobs.

Most NPCs in Bloodlines you interact with are not normies. Hell, even the few normies you do talk to are absolutely shocked by seeing a Nosferatu (the player), nevermind talking about any "many supernatural phenomena" of larger magnitude.

Some people can believe in the supernatural (the same way people believe in aliens) but that's different from KNOWING that something exist (and there are some people who actually managed to get a peek of what's behind the curtain. Not that it did them any good). That said, nobody is going to deny that a mob exists. Drug cartels or mafias in Italy are subject to mainstream news. Try the same with vampires and see what you'll get. So "not that different" is actually a pretty big difference.
