Get the Reluctant Panthermug. One who reluctantly decides to adhere to societal or commercial norms in order to further their own , family or associates ends.
One who suppresses their yearning for self determination, freedom or rebellious nature in order to survive or simply gain advantage.
EG. You may join a government or military department but you will have to conform to a strict code of behavior. In return you get job security , regular salary , maybe even job satisfaction and a certain societal standing.
Reluctant conformists can sometimes be a prime example of joining a system in order to change it from the inside. Often times this is the most strategic way to bring about change.
I this case the Rebel , the entrepreneur still lurks beneath the veneer of conformity.

“I don’t think young Harrison is cut out for a career in this company I don’t feel as though he buys into our systems and methods entirely.”
“…. Yeah - it seems to me that he is struggling within a straight jacket of conformity in his current role – he’s a real reluctant conformist”

Get the reluctant conformistmug. When a wife let's her husband have sex with her to appease him and she lays on her back showing zero interest while he goes to pound town.
Guy - "Man, I finally got laid last night. Have you gotten any buns recently?"
Buddy - "Yea, the other night. I wouldn't say I got laid, but Tricia begrudgingly lied there lifeless and let me have sex with her so I would stop annoying her"
Guy - "Ahh, the Reluctant Starfish. At least you got a nut"
Buddy - "Yup....."
