Sorry, I still don't buy it. I can see it as a defined term, etc, and so on, but as you say, it's about perception, and keeping some "in line" is no different than bullying when the bullies define where "the line" is in the first place. It might be a sub-class of bullying but no more worthy of a separate label than "bed-wetter shaming", "nose-picker bashing" or "flincher pounding".
