The privilege that celebrities, professional athletes, and politicians possess over regular citizens, that gives them the ability to broadcast their singular and oftentimes uneducated opinion to millions of people, simply because they enjoy access and prominence in media where non-famous, but more intelligent individuals do not. While all men may be created equal, their access to platforms is not and famous people become entitled to believe that their opinions and ideas have merit simply because they are famous.
Dude 1: "Man, can you believe the crappy lead singer from Coldplay is telling me who I should vote for? Who does he think he is?
Dude 2: "He's using his Platform Privilege. Celebrities always think we want to hear their opinions even though we all know they're complete morons and the media pukes it out to the masses because they're famous."
