The Violence in Bioshock Infinite

Apparently the graphic violence bothered a lot of people when they played Bioshock Infinite.  The violence, also, for some, seemed out of place.  I feel that the violence makes sense, seeing that you are in a floating city full of people who have been brainwashed into killing anyone who tries to destroy their cities.  I also found the violence to be the "darker side" of what seems to be a world filled with brightness and "joy."  I enjoy the idea that there is a animalistic side to Booker and the inhabitants of Columbia.  Another argument I read is that the game has gore just for the sake of it.  This is an empty argument in that only the creator can confirm or deny this.  Otherwise it is just an assumption that is being presented as fact.
