T-Posing Becomes Contagious

Ever since VRChat reverted their IK system that accidentally caused networking issues, users started to encounter T-posing performed by users interacting with chairs while the viewer joins the instance.

Apparently, the bug appeared almost two months ago. Unlike many issues, it didn't have a significant impact on user experience in general, however, highly populated instances with desktop users and multiple chairs (stations) became more confusing, as people seemed to be asserting dominance against their own will. If you got “infected” from someone else’s point of view, make sure to reset your pose by changing avatars.
