There's a difference between a villain and an antagonist. A villain is someone who is evil in nature. An antagonist is just someone who opposes or is in conflict with the protagonist. While most villains qualify as antagonists because they oppose the protagonists, good or neutral people can qualify too if they oppose the protagonist, also hence why in Villain-lead movies, they are refered to as the protagonist while the good guy, despite technically being the hero, is the antagonist.

Ironwood is an antagonist because he is directly opposing RWBY and co., the protagonists, and so we have listed him as such, but he is not evil. His intentions are good although his methods and actions are questionable.
