Hm. I guess it's time to tell a bit of myself to more people.
So, I'm somewhat of a hikkikomori. The Brazillian government blessed me with a slackjob that I can do at home (it's basically organizing files and sending emails), and because of very personal reasons, it would be somewhat insane for me to go outside of my own free will.
I use supermarket delivery when I want something, so I don't really go out. Until not so long ago, there was a certain idiot that forced me to go out, but that person is not here anymore.
So, my motivation? they provide me a life. I gave up on 3D completely (again, for very personal reasons), however, I genuinely have fun with animes, VNs, mangas and such.
They provide me the sort of fun and entertainment that I would never be able to have normally, considering my issues. I specially like seeing incredible protagonists and imagining myself as the heroine. "I may not be able to fly, but someday someone who can may take me with him".... I know better than anyone about how that is just a fantasy, but I can't really give up on it. I guess I'm quite the childish one, huh~
Well, there is still much of the Otaku culture for me to brave, and I'm already doing this since 7 years ago. I still feel like I'm just at the beginning. Since they provide me an incredible amount of happiness, and since I pretty much only keep learning and entering more and more at this culture, I guess that in the end, I must be one of the happiest people on earth. I spend over 14 hours of my day with a smile in my face because of it, after all.
So, that's my answer. They make my life worth living~
