Chara climbing Mt. Ebott for an 'unhappy reason' doesn't necessarily mean they were self-hateful. They could have been suicidal for other reasons, such as abuse, neglect, all the common headcanons.

And there's no doubt in my mind that Chara was a bit antsy to be surrounded by monsters (after all, humans aren't big fans of them) at first, and might have thought they would go through the same crap they did on the surface, and would have still been in that mindset (hence why Toriel would have dulled the fire pokers in her house and hid the knives).

I've never seem this interpretation of the 'demon that comes when you call its name' before, and It's definitely changed the way I view the Genocide route.
