The correct answer. If you can't be called the slur, you can't use the slur. It's like the N word.

I'm not gay but a racist (and by racist I mean "admires Hitler" racist) on a libertarian forum called me an anti-white Marxist f****t along with several other users who were also not gay.

And you being straight, that word carried as much weight/meaning/power to hurt as a lily-white person with blonde hair and blue eyes being called a N*****.

I've been called both "f-" and "n-", but I still think me using it is probably not a good idea.

Unless you're black and gay, I don't think you got what I meant by, "if you can't be called the slur."

I've been called both of those as a white straight guy, never from a place of hate, I respond back calling my buddies a slur.

Exactly! Context is everything. I have black friends who constantly call each other the N-word from a place of affection, but that doesn't mean it's ok for some racist to use it derisively as a slur to a black person's face. Totally different things.
