If everyone was stuck outside in the cold, and one guy wouldn't stop talking about how cold it is, how long before others would start to be annoyed? Yes, it's cold out. Yes, we're cold too. Yes, mutually complaining about the cold can be a bonding experience, especially when we can all see another group safely enjoying their warm shelter they refuse to share. But when every conversation or discussion for months on end is interrupted by the guy saying it's cold and offering zero solutions, at some point people are going to tell him to shut up.

TL;DR: No privilege here; please stop bitching
