I am too lazy to read all of the replies, so I will just answer to the one who made the thread.

I believe you missed something really important here - Chara is soulless.

And the mere fact that Chara is soulless already proves that them being a "sicko" is wrong. Because is Asriel a sicko? No, but his lack of soul kept him unable to feel complex emotions, thus making his flower-self look like a maniac made out of pure evil. This is the same case for Chara. It can be proven that, despite being indeed manipulative, Chara could have been a, not good, but at least acceptable person. Think of it for a moment: if this human was really a sicko, they could've killed the entire Dreemurr family, taking the advantage of their trust, and then proceeded to kill everybody else. But they did not.

Chara wasn't really a murderer since the very beggining as you say. Or at least, not a cold-blooded murderer. They had a soul back then, you may say. ''They were able to feel compassion. ''Ah, but here it comes. They despise the human race, and it was tempting for them to kill the humans who were trying to attack. Their plan was to gather souls, was it not? They would have to kill humans anyways, be it in self-defense or not. So, while it was murder and that can't really be justified, this is what basically the entire Underground tries to do: kill for freedom.

Chara being the narrator doesn't have much to do, either. I also believe this theory, and that means Chara follows you since the beggining of the game. The Genocide narration is heartless because Chara is soulless. Did you not see how Flowey called Asgore "stupid king", and Toriel "old hag", despite them being his parents? Same goes for Chara, because they are unable to love them anymore. They don't care for anyone. Now imagine this: instead of Chara, the narrator was Flowey. He enjoys killing. So, if you started killing, wouldn't he find it fun, and thus encourage you to keep going? He would see everyone as obstacles, judging by the path you decided to go through. Chara is exactly this.
