"Privilege" is a trendy word that gets thrown around haphazardly in arguments, especially in a condescending manner. In my anecdotal experience, the p-word is most often invoked as an explanation for why a critic of [x] doesn't see the merit of [x] because they simply can't understand due to their background.
