I think it’s because turpentine is associated with DIY abortion and maybe slavery. Men “fixing” women and the women having to “unfix” themselves. Using different solutions to induce abortion.
The Devils Panties tends to use that character to depict an amalgamation of Gamergate, Rapist Brock Allen Turner, Kyle Rittenhouse, and every online debatebro combined, and so the other characters are written to react to him in such a way.
I don’t get it. This guy was shooting doctors? Why? Is there a second page to the comic?
I believe they’re referencing Dr. George Tiller.
What about the turpentine reference?
I don’t get it either. isn’t turpentine just a paint thinner, sometimes used in mixes to make varnishes or clean furniture? smells awful.

The tin snips and vasectomies is a decent clue.
Isn’t it also highly flammable? My first thought with the comic was it would be used for arson.

Looks a little too clean cut for Gamer Brock Rittenhouse or a debate bro, seems more like a Christian frat type.
