ostrichized
I just want to take a moment off topic to say how much I love this new word (malaprop?).
The word you were hoping for is 'ostracized', but ostrichized is a fun enough mental image that it should be its own word too.

Now I’m imagining a mad scientist with a ray gun that “ostrichizes” people who annoy them.
Screwed up coffee order? ZAP! The barista gets turned into an ostrich. Annoying, pushy person at the door handing out pamphlets? ZAP! Try saving souls as an ostrich. Have a cart overflowing with groceries in the “Ten Items of Less” line? ZAP! Ostrich.

I was thinking of could be a great way to describe self ostracism to ignore problems, like the putting your head in the sand ostrich trope.
Your scenario is more fun, an ostrich raygun should be a weapon in a video game like Saints Row or something.
