Yeah, both humans have their character. I still haven’t found out for certain WHY Chara turned evil post-death, but there had to be some cause. Something that made Chara like a “demon”, rather than simply a ghost. As you saw though, I have some speculation on what that “thing” might have been. And yeah, Frisk isn’t perfectly good. In fact, it could be argued that in Genocide, they’re just as bad as, or possibly even WORSE than Chara!

Frisk isn’t told to start killing-Frisk has to initiate it. They are given a few “subtle hints” beforehand, but Frisk wouldn’t really be aware of them, or even be compelled by them if they weren’t evil already. (What “subtle hints” do I mean? ..The fact that EXP is displayed as a stat, and you’re told how much you need to gain LV. Yeah. That’s literally it. Told you, it’s not compelling to anyone who doesn’t already want to kill stuff) But why is this? Well, as I explained, Chara wants a true partner-someone with the same goal as them. If they just started saying to kill right away, how would they know Frisk is truly doing this out of their own nature, and not just because some ghost is telling them to?

Basically, by killing off the monsters in the Ruins, you’ve “proven” to Chara that you’re just like them. So yeah, being evil’s what made Chara help you kill in the first place. So Frisk, don’t just say you did nothing wrong and it’s ALL Chara’s fault. Chara guided you BECAUSE you’ve proven that you’re just as evil as THEY are. And Chara.. don’t get any ideas on saying you had no part in this either.. Like the SOUL exchange, the killing of Asgore and Flowey... The guidance, which doesn’t make sense if you supposedly hate humanity and love the monsters you’re helping to kill...

TL;DR(A):Both Frisk and Chara played their parts in this route. Don’t just say one’s good and the other’s evil.

TL;DR(B):Chara wasn’t always good, or always either. They were good at first, until their death, at which point they turned evil for an unknown reason.
