I'm pretty skeptical of this. I can maybe see my way to believing that googling "jailbait" beats out any single one of ["pic" "pics" "funny" "joke" ...], but the normal SFW subreddits have always been vastly bigger than the porn subs. I'm also really skeptical of the causation chain that leads from jailbait -> Stormfront -> general toxic culture. Do you have any harder evidence of this?

Edit: Sorry, "normal SFW," not "normal NSFW."

Seems like for a time it was the second biggest refer keyword, web archive doesnt really back it up though.
