Is it a coincidence University had knitting?

I’m pretty sure it’s a coincidence. It makes no sense logically- why would they rig a vote to avoid making a new animation, but then add a whole host of new animations (including the rocking chair animations that weren’t actually required for the winning theme, and the cool but totally unnecessary air guitar animation) when they didn’t need to?

I can’t believe it’s a conspiracy to avoid one new animation when they ended up adding several they didn’t need to.
