Check your privilege, it’s Privilege Man, the super villain!
Yes, check your privilege to make sure you still have any,
because Privilege Man has the power to steal away everyone’s privilege!
That’s right: It’s not enough that he already has male
privilege, and white privilege, and superpower privilege, and bad boy
privilege… He wants all privilege, and he can get it too, to be the most
privileged person ever!
No one can defeat his super-powered privilege, allowing him
to get upgraded at every flight, get into every nightclub, get backstage access
at every sold-out concert, priority status on every deal, the best rates on
every mortgage: everything your heart desires and cannot have is his for the
taking!
Actually, this would make a pretty good advertising mascot
character for one of those credit card rewards program ad campaigns, huh? So
long as they didn’t mind making liberals mad at them for glorifying privilege. (Privilege
forbid!) But in that case, he’d be a superhero of privilege to his friends and
family, and a super villain to everyone else who doesn’t have that card’s
rewards program (and to the competing credit card companies).
