I'm going to back up the assertion that Bioshock Infinite's Vox Populi were portrayed as bad guys. The game might have meant for them to be sympathetic initially, but they also did a bad job by making the leader into someone who betrayed the protagonist quite evilly. I think this comes down to not exactly direct intention by the game's writers, but because in general the story was not well done.

I'm reminded that on twitter the game's publisher posted a poll about which faction would the audience support, the obvious bad guys (Columbia) or Vox Populi. No one of course wanted to vote for Columbia but the publishers were surprised that no one wanted to vote for the Vox Populi either. The publishers thought they had made the Vox Populi sympathetic, but people were saying that the game shouldn't have made the people fighting against racism into enemies then.
