Bully Hunters was a short-lived live-streamed show launched in 2018 that claimed it would hunt down harassers in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and confront them in game. The broadcast was widely mocked for its awkward staging and serious tone, and clips quickly spread across gaming forums and YouTube as reaction material. The slow clapping moment survived because it perfectly captured that mocking response, and editors kept reusing it long after the show ended, turning a forgotten anti-bullying stunt into a lasting sarcastic applause meme.
