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

it might be funny if you were doing it with close friends (and you knew they would be okay with it or asked first), but strangers are a no lolol (i actually don't think you can!)
 
You can give villagers from someone else's town a gift on their birthday. I know cause I did it! I don't know if they put the gift in their house though. I did ask permission before I did it though.
 
I'm not protective over my villagers and don't take stuff like that seriously. Personally I'd love that and think it was funny if it's even possible :) But I know most people would be uncomfortable and it would probably cross a boundary for most people if you didn't ask first.
 
you can gift other people's villagers stuff if their villager is having a birthday, so I guess in that way it's possible

Yeap.
One of my buddy visited when Stella was having her birthday and gave her a new outfit as her birthday gift.
The villager will eventually let you know who gave him/her the cloth when you talk to them.

I don't really see how Marshal or Raymond or any of the boy characters wearing a dress is a joke. It's just clothing, it doesn't really belong to girls only. But regardless it is very rude to give other people's villagers clothes to make them wear. Nobody laughs at that joke but you.
 
I've seen it happen, you have to put a custom design up in Ables I believe? Someone on twitter said a visitor got a bunch of their villagers wearing things that said 'I'm sorry women' and they didn't even notice the custom design until a bunch of villagers started to wear it.

I also gave a gift to my best friend's villager on her birthday. I didn't give clothing, though. For this reason - my friend might hate it :)

My best friend puts her designs up in my island, and my villagers wear them all the time. I love it.
 
hold up you can actually do this? I think its rude without asking permission. then again I would never talk to villagers even if the person allows but usually everyone mostly says no anyway.
 
Oh my I had no idea any of this was even possible, looks like I have to set restrictions on the able sisters
 
I feel like it kind of depends on the context of the situation?
If I was visiting a friend and we joked around a lot and I knew they would find it funny it wouldn’t be too bad. If I was just visiting someone randomly and just trading with them or something then I think it would be pretty rude
 
Ok, so I just noticed that someone put their custom designs in my shop without my permission. I've been letting a lot of people visit my island for giveaways/DIYs, so I have no idea who it could be. Just this evening, Graham put on one of the shirts :sick:

Ables is closed right now, so I can't go inside. Tomorrow, when the shop is open, is there any way of removing these designs or telling who put them up?
 
idk if ‘rude’ is the word i’d use but it’s never good to do something on someone else’s island without permission

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.
 
i'd be annoyed if some random visitor gave my villagers ugly things or clothes that they displayed in their house or wore. maybe some people would like it but i sure as hell wouldn't
