First of all, you realize, at the moment, you are part of the media. And so is every furry who has ever contributed to a blog, artsite, or otherwise. If you contribute writing, art, photography, whatever to the public, you are the media.
Second of all, the reason we need non-furry media exposure is because a bunch of furries quacking quietly on the Internet pretending like existing is an accomplishment in and of itself when we are contributing absolutely nothing to popular culture at large is really sad. Seriously, after thirty years in this fandom, the highlight of mainstream penetration for us is we maybe caused CSI to jump the shark back when it was still actually popular. That's about it. And you may enjoy being a negative space and all, but some of us would like a little respect, and public exposure is the only way to get that.
Third of all, if you are too ashamed to tell your family about something, then you are doing something wrong. Maybe you should stop doing that thing.
