 Because creators from all parts of the globe are published in these works, the term "American "yaoi"" fell out of use and were replaced by terms like "original English language "yaoi"" and "Global "Yaoi"".The term "Global "Yaoi"" or "Global BL" was coined by creators and newsgroups that wanted to distinguish the Asian specific content known as "yaoi", from the original English content.Global BL was shortened by comics author Tina Anderson in interviews and on her blog to the acronym "GloBL".
