Yes, I have.

I imagine Chara lying about hating humans. They were an injured, supposedly sacared kid, trying to say and do things they thought would appeal to monsters, to pacify them. They may not have fit in well in the human world, but that doesn't necessarily lead to hatred. They didn't back it with a reason, because they couldn't think of something plausible.

They felt so under-appreciated, that they literally craved power and acknowledgement beyond reason. Which culminated in trying to free monsters through a horribly self-abusing way of suicide, and allowing their soul to be devoured (the very thing humans were so afraid of that they sealed monsters in the first place). They picked up their body to provoke attacks, because as I mentioned, they didn't feel actual hatred, and weren't truly ready to kill without some serious "motivation". That would also partially explain why didn't they try (or manage) to force Asriel to fight until his last breath.

Also, while I don't like to speculate about Gaster, if he built the determination extraction machine, then Chara may have been a somewhat willing test subject. I mean the way one goes to the doctor for examination and stuff, not the way Gaster's approach is usually depicted. One has to be nice to the king's adopted kid, after all.
