What are some games in which the protagonists are actually evil and the characters portrayed as villains are actually good? Bonus points if the writers did this by accident, i.e., they weren't trying to be ironic or edgy but rather they just have a shitty sense of morality and/or terrible writing skills.
even though this is the most stock and cliche answer and every single motherfucker on /v/ including myself is sick of hearing about it it...Undertale in a genocide run is exactly this.
Bioshock Infinite.
I've heard people say this about Assassin's Creed, but I didn't play past the first few games.

Nah, the Templars talk a big game but it's obvious they're pure evil. With how absolutely retarded the assassins are though I can see people coming to that conclusion.

The only AC that remotely fits that description is 3 and there the protagonist is more of a bumbling moron than actively malicious.

Dark messiah
Nier?

The best ironic example I can think of isn't about the protagonist or antagonist, per se, but the Synthesis ending in ME3 is a great example. Tagged as the "good ending" in the code, requires the highest war score to activate, color coded green and in the center of the screen. Yet it's basically just a forced galactic-wide space eugenics program.

Metal Gear Solid 2, but you aren't really willfully evil I guess.
Demon's souls.

Prototype.
