Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

This shorthand might be too obscure. It's not obvious what enm means. Or 'enf' for that matter, which I'm only familiar with as a term for fluffy_pony sex.

They aren't obscure to those that are into the fetish
I'd consider it just the same as a localized term for any other fetish

I'm not a fan of short 2- or 3-letter abbreviations being aliased to a non-disambiguation/invalid tag, since there's much higher risks of other terms fitting the same abbreviation or being a typo for some other short tag. Especially if the term is only obvious to those into the fetish and is not obvious to many if not most users.

I would have argued the same and say that the abbreviations are too obscure, but looking up ENF and ENM on Wikitionary, they seem to be legitimate.
The only other term that ENM could mean is ethical non-monogamy, which probably would never get tagged here.
