If you're in a group where "that's not fair" is frequently a winning argument, you may already be in trouble.

I am in many groups where, when choosing between two strategies A and B, fairness is one of the things we take into account. I'm not sure that's a problem.

If it's a frequently-occurring observation within the group then yes, there seems to be something wrong.
