What's the context on this photo? Why did he try to remove it from the internet?
Edit: thanks ๐
According to his tweet he wore it to a party in 2012. And the tweet is still there, so the part about removing it from the internet is just a meme.

He worried it might one day show up on Lemmy and that he would feel judged by the community.
It was cringe and people kept bringing it up.
No it was for a costume party. He tweeted it and his tweet is still up. The part of him wanting it removed is made up. I don't like the guy but this gets posted constantly online and is easily shown to be false.
"___ wanted this picture deleted" is just the latest version of clickbait
