No one is forced to be a Christian. But no one should be forced to live according to the "new religion" as though it alone were definitive and obligatory for all mankind.

There are many problems with sedevacantism, but the major one is assuming that a Pope has to be faultless. The Pope is a sinner, just like the rest of us, and part of the problem with sedevacantism is that it rests on the assumption that a Pope who has faults cannot be a legitimate Pope, which is of course, non-sense and goes against much of what the Church teaches with regards to sin and concupiscence.
