* EvilVsEvil: The game largely paints the Vox as being just as evil as the Founders they're at war with, hence why Booker (and later Elizabeth) are apprehensive about joining them. Portraying a violent slave rebellion this way, and whether or not it is a grossly insensitive false equivalency, has not been without controversy.

* AntiVillain: For as violent and unmerciful as they are, the fact still stands that they're a slave rebellion looking for emancipation.
