Get the Whatever, I do what I want! mug.
A phrase to use when someone is telling you not to do something but you don't care.

Popularised by Michael Clifford (Guitarist in 5 Seconds Of Summer) in a live stream where his fellow bandmates are telling him to stop swear and Michael then replies with "I do what I want, I'm punk rock"
Michael: I do what I want, I'm punk rock
Calum: No you're not! Just because you're wearing eyelines doesn't make you punk rock!

Empathy for one. In the absence of empathy, if the amount of energy takes for you to get me to do a thing supersedes the amount of energy required for the thing to be done then it wouldn't be practical for you to make me do the thing. Additionally, my awareness of my own mortality makes it impossible for me to be perpetually made to do thing because I can always just kill myself. It incentivizes harming you and the things you care about. It gives your enemies a de-facto ally. But it's intriguing that you think that there is only one reason...
JeerpJoop "If I can make you do what I want and get away with it, why should I not?"

Hym "Well, for starters, there's more than one reason. Secondly, you literally can't. You can only leverage (either) my desire to live against performing the act OR the hope that I may not have to continue doing it indefinitely. Which is how you get people to stay in your suffering cult. You leverage their desire to live and their hope that their suffering will end to get them to do what you want or behave how you want to behave. It's actually kind of illuminating to because if you're God rewards screwing people over then is it not evil? Sounds evil. It ties back into you not actually believing in God but rather believing that God is on your side and that it will forgive you if you do the opposite of what it said."

"I do what I want" Is something said by someone who does what they want, that person is probably superior to the people around them.
