If there isn’t at least some non-zero amount of tin-snips and turpentine, then the protest is a parade.

Coincidentally, Lowes is having a black friday on tin snips: https://www.lowes.com/pl/hand-tools/cutting-crimping-tools/tin-snips/on-sale/4294857583-2

Turpentine I can understand having for various reasons (lighting shit on fire, removing paint/ink/pepperspray), but what is the need for tin snips? cutting the zip-tie handcuffs used by riot police?

I think they’re for performing the vasectomies as alluded to in the second panel. I assumed the turps is for make-shift antiseptic.

OP just made it sound like they are needed for any type of protest or demonstration, so I assumed they had use beyond just reproductive rights marches. Plus, turpentine can be used as an antiseptic, but there are lots of less conspicuous antiseptics available.

I like your answer, too, though.

Unsure is /s, but doesn’t seem like it.

Reproductive health advocates are not mass murdering children. You’re thinking of guns, drugs, and cars if you are in the USA, cancer and other genetic defects if in the UK.

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 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.

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

A man is being a bit sarcastic and the angry feminist protester is threatening to mutilate his genitals?
