An innocuous phrase that is not quite how it appears. This is another of Reddit’s beloved pop-culture references; Letterkenny (NSFW: profanity)[1]. Whenever someone starts a post or comment with the phrase "to be fair", one of three things might happen:

Your post or comment might now be derailed with a Comment Chain, where your first reply will be slightly altered ("To be faaaiirrr..."), the next one even more (“Toooo beeee faaaiiiirrr...”) and so on ("To be faaaieeeh...") etc.
Or you might invoke a Copypasta. A favourite of Reddit here is a Rick And Morty copypasta[2]documented at Know Your Meme[3]. To be fair, you have to have a *very* high IQ to understand Rick and Morty.

Then again, you might get lucky and your post or comment is taken at face value and your conversation goes as normal. Probably not but this is Reddit, to be fair.....
There's nothing here!
