I think it's an interesting issue because the primary issue is what interests people, not the website itself. If a majority of people want to concentrate on the bad, then the bad shows up more. If the mods or admins make the site such that it's impossible to concentrate on the bad, then that would involve some kind of censorship that could be very biased towards someone's definition of good.

The issue is the people, not with Reddit.

That is always true, in fact I'd go as far as to formulate Waldens Law, "if the issue is either people or X, it's people" ;).

This is a great point. There is a demand for violence. It's counter-intuituve and non-PC but people pay good money to see it. It has nothing to do with redit, IMHO its more of a media phenomena. Look at the middle east.
