>Privilege is referring to the difficulty slider. It is more often used to try to stereotype and discriminate against someone, insisting their setting as being higher than others. And when this brought up, the general response is to then say the issue is really a bunch of different sliders, such as one for race, one of gender, one for sex, one for sexuality (and all of these are still simplified to stereotypes). It is often accompanied by an insistence that we pay extra attention to some sliders are more important than others, with the side bringing it up tending to shift focus to the sliders that minimize the view point of the one being told they are privileged. Privilege is an attempt to simplify complex issues in a manner that benefits certain positions and it can be used as a thought terminating cliche. For example, privilege being brought up here to detail how it is privilege for some to have turned to computer as a coping mechanism for the abuse and exclusion of their peer groups; that they had free time to focus on computers because their peers didn't want to spend time with them is a privilege.
