No, people like Meredith and Alrik make the templars look bad.
The templars in Ferelden's circle came across as decent sorts who were just as interested in protecting the mages as they were in protecting mundanes from magic.
By DAI, templars were using red lyrium and slaughtering anyone who remotely looked like they might help a rebel mage.
The Venatori came across like any other opportunistic antagonist group. Consider the qunari in Trespasser: the primary difference is that they used gaatlok and swords instead of magic.
There's nothing disingenuous about it. It's just one person's assessment.
I find your assessment disingenuous because it Meredith's sympathetic character and the fact that see was corrupted by a outside force, as well as the fact that Alaric is one bad Templar compared to a sea of bad mages. It also forgets that the Inquisition Templars were tricked into taking Red Lyrium, which makes them victims of a mage (Corypheus). The Venatori are still a cult of evil mages willingly serving another evil mage they believe is their new God. The Red Templars, on the other hand, are mostly brainwashed victims with the exception of Samson.
While t may be your opinion that the Mage -Templar portrayals are entirely black and white, they truthfully haven't been.
