Is it rude to visit strangers' islands and give their villagers funny outfits?

[Draconem00]

I’ve got the same issue. Mabel tells you the name of the design and who created it, though I don’t know if that means the creator was the one who put it up or not. She gave me the option to report it or replace it with one of my own. I didn’t want to report my well-meaning friend but I also don’t particularly want my villagers wearing any of my own custom designs either... I wish it was like New Leaf where you could just fill up the custom designs with umbrellas and villagers would never use them.

So I reported it to Isabelle (Discuss a Resident -> select Reneigh -> what they’re wearing) and she said she’d get Reneigh to change. Went outside, Reneigh had changed back into her default outfit and didn’t mention anything or get angry I spoke to Isabell so I assume friendship was unaffected. Went about my day for a little while longer and there Reneigh is in the custom design that isn’t even in the store anymore .-.

If they do give my villager something funny, it Better be damn funny.

It’s the rudest thing someone can do. Someone gave my dream villager Lionel a shirt that says Party with sl*ts. WHO DOES THAT

 

[cheezu]

I don't think that option exists.
I'd consider it extremely rude unless the person was an IRL friend and it was done for fun or just in good spirits.
Otherwise, it would be a big no no.

It's rude. Unless the host permitted you to put up your designs, please don't.

But in your case you probably adopted him from someone who had that design. Otherwise, how could the person gift your villager a custom shirt?

 

[Arckaniel]

Of course it is rude! As someone who likes to give villager outfits that suit them, if someone did this, I would totally flip out on them!

 

[Raccoon Goon]

That is just SUPER rude.

Strangers can give them gifts on their birthday (that they will wear, I've seen it happen). Sadly there have also been people putting inappropriate designs up for display in the Able Sisters shop. Isabelle doesn't remove the clothing permanently, and I don't think she does anything about hats. I would always ask the host if you want to share your designs, it's the polite thing to do.

It’s really disrespectful and rude, just like ruining or vandalizing someone’s property to put up clothes in able sisters or give villagers clothes that you don’t want, unless if you do give them permission then it’s not rude.

 

[EtchaSketch]

Please don’t do this. I don’t know why somebody would think this is funny (unless it genuinely is funny... which i doubt)

I know the question was about gifing clothes, which yes, that would be very, very rude if possible - some people here mentioned that they would never even talk to a stranger's villager. I think I've done that once or twice, just to find out a villager's name or see if I like the character. It never crossed my mind that that could be considered rude? Why is that?

back in new leaf unless you talked to the villager, he wouldn't mention you. so people that didn't like hearing about other players in game didn't allow people to talk to their villagers. but in new horizons is not the same. even if you just drop in and go out all villagers will talk about it. so might as well talk to whoever you want.

That makes sense, thanks for explaining! In that case I guess I don't have to feel too bad about having talked to stranger's villagers.

It is incredibly rude to mess with other people's islands. If you truly want to give a villager a funny outfit, give your gift to the host and let them decide where to go from there. Same goes for custom designs, just talk to the host before doing something on their island

 

[sunchild]

i think it's pretty rude to basically do anything that would affect someone's island/villagers/scenery without their explicit permission

 

[TofuIdol]

I don't think you really should unless you have the owner of the owner's approval since sometimes people like to put their villagers in certain clothes or to match their island theme.

 

[John Wick]

Just curious what you think... Say you make a sale and someone visits and gives your villagers funny outfits (like someone gives your raymond/marshal cafe outfit which looks like a girl dress)... is this rude?

You should be given life without the possibility of parole.

 

[Mu~]

I didn't even know you could do that.

 

[Aardbei]

I didn't even know you could do that.

No, fortunately it is not possible.

And that's a really good thing because I have a friend who loves doing jokes like this and the other day he was ready to give a ridiculous hat to my Olaf
People can be really nice and everything but when we are friends they tend to be more "disrespectful"
