Catfish on MTV shows that anyone on the Internet can be ‘catfished,’ be in a relationship with someone who pretends to be someone else. For people who have never been Catfished, it can be scary watching someone who’s innocent get hurt because they fell in love with someone who was lying to them. It might even deter you from online dating. For people who are Catfishing or have been Catfished, it gives them some insight as to why someone would go to such an extreme length to be someone else, and other personal things going on in their life.
