You know how many 1st-person shooter games have custom-made maps and enemy characters? What if an avid gamer/programmer made caricatures of hated people from real life, into those enemy characters?

Say he was a victim of bullying and ridicule.

Then he gets pictures of these bullies and other reviled schoolmates, scans them onto his computer, and makes caricatures/avatars/characters/etc. directly based off of these hated schoolmates and distributes downloadable files of these schoolmates all throughout that gaming network.

(As a bonus, the “names” he gives these characters are the real names of the schoolmates he based them off of!)

By the time the people at school find out about this, thousands of players on that online 1st-person shooter have downloaded, shot up and mutilated these real-world-based characters 6 ways ‘til Sunday, countless thousands of times.

How would those hated schoolmates react?

How would the school & district officials react?

How would those schoolmates’ parents react?

Would this all go on the news? How large of it? (Local? Regional? National?)

What would happen to the programmer of those custom enemy avatars?
