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

[numerotwo]

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?

 

[cornimer]

Yeah I think that's kind of rude, they're your villagers and it's up to you what you want them to wear.

 

[Kurashiki]

a lot of people really care about what their villagers wear/put in their house, so i think if it's not somebody you know well or if you didn't ask it would definitely considered rude.

 

[thundershot]

I didn’t know you could give villagers on foreign islands anything...

 

[Jam86]

just wondering, are you able to give villagers things if they don't live on your island? i visit my sibling's islands all the time and can't give their villagers anything
not that i would without permission anyway

 

[Khaelis]

Wait, visitors can GIVE my villagers gifts? It's like Nintendo doesn't want me to invite people to my island. Cause this is a pretty big "HECK NO" from me.

It's an absolute nightmare removing clothes from a villager's wardrobe. If a visitor gives clothes to my villagers without permission, it's extremely rude.

Same, yikes...

 

[Nefarious]

Is this actually possible though?? I've never heard anyone else talk about this before.

Wow, I actually didnt know vistors could give your villagers clothes. I would see that as very rude because I personally care what my villagers are wearing lol. Infact im trying to get some of my villagers out of their default outfits that i dont like that much.I'd actually be pretty annoyed if someone did that to me.

I don’t think you can even do that boo.

I just visited my sisters island and talked to Tutu who I’ve spoken to before. The option to gift isn’t there.

This isn't possible is it? I've been to my friends islands plenty of times and I've never gotten that option. And yes, I would absolutely consider it rude. Treat the villagers like they're part of the island. If someone doesn't want you running over flowers, don't do it. If someone doesn't want you talking to villagers or giving them stuff, don't do it.

 

[Jam86]

i think it is rude espcially if you don't know the person
but i don't really care what my villagers are wearing because most of the time they're all just walking around in sports and yoga outfits

 

[Kaiaa]

I would always ask permission before taking to someone else’s villagers, let alone give their villagers anything. It may not be intentionally rude but some people are extremely protective of their villagers!

 

[meggiewes]

I've never been able to give items to villagers that are on my friend's islands.

 

[marea]

Can we get the option to do that or is this just hypothetical? either way, i find it rude because i care about what my villagers wear and i dont want them walking around wearing clothes i dont like.

 

[CowKing]

Can someone actually confirm if this is a thing you can do? Cause I've never seen a visitor give a villager gifts before??

 

[Pyoopi]

It's more weird to me? Like if there is truth behind this and I walked up to find my jock villager in a tutu, I would just think I'm in the twilight zone.

The notion is kind of funny but is still inconsiderate especially for a stranger.

 

[Feferily]

I don't think you can gift them anything but you can put up a custom design and they'll start wearing it everywhere. It's why half of mine are wearing Hatsune Miku cosplays.....

It's a bit of a hypothetical question, but I DO in fact think its possible. I made a post on the Gamefaqs ACNH board and asked if it was possible, and there was one person who replied and he said "yes". So I'm fairly certain it's actually implemented in the game, and random strangers can give villagers gifts.

I don't think it's possible to give someone else's villagers clothes, as others have said. But if it is, yes I would consider it to be incredibly rude. Most people don't like to have anything changed about their town or villagers without their permission. Thankfully, New Horizons doesn't allow visitors who aren't best friends to do much that would be annoying/rude.
