What is known

Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a photograph of the back of a person in a navy long-sleeved shirt, apparently standing at a counter, whose distressed white lettering reads "I DON'T NEED SEX / Crypto / FUCKS ME / EVERYDAY." The wearer's face is not visible and they are not identified. The shirt's slogan is its own joke about cryptocurrency losses, reproduced as found. It circulates as a found-in-the-wild photo; whether the image was staged or candid is unverified. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
