That is the difference between a protocol and a site/platform. As an operator, you could choose not to carry news groups that you find objectionable. Or you can choose not to visit websites you don't want to support. Reddit is too monolithic for that. It's true that you can not see it our pretend it's not there, but one of the few ways to promote change is to not visit the site at all.
To me, that's like saying, "that dirty alt.binaries.whatever group really turned me off USENET."
The reddit I visit doesn't have any violentacrez. Nor does the reddit my wife visits. The thing reddit gets right is the ability to customize and narrowly define what content you get fed. Mine looks like a more scattered HN. My wife's looks like a text-based Pinterest.
