He's already been approved based on the facts alone that he's gotten innocent civilians killed (whether it was his intention or not) and that he essentially forced the entire Survey Corps into his slaughter. The latest chapter also seems to make it clear that Eren has no intentions of doing things rationally and civil, but to continue on the war by fighting and eventually unleashing the Colossus Titans, which is what Armin is really concerned about that; the fact that he's aiming to threathen the world like that.

If he was portrayed in a more heroic light, then I'd agree he's not a villain. But he's already done enough to be considered as one. Only thing you can do now for the time being is to wait and see where Isayama is truly going with his character.
