"Toby only said "I mean, if you can't think of anything else lol" as a reply, phrased in a joking way. The parent tweet was phrased much more directly and definitively and was likely meant to be taken more seriously than the tweet with "lol" at the end."

To me it sounds like the first tweet was a troll and a comment on the player's lack of imagination.Anyway he has no reason to joke about it and when someone asked him if they can name chara after themlselves he responded "that works!"instead of asking to name them chara for better experience,that means all names are valid

"Furthermore, Toby never refers to the fallen child as "Chara". It's likely that "Chara" being """The True Name""" is only because that's how the sprites are named as an abbreviation of "character"; as a placeholder for whatever the player names the fallen child."

He mentionned Chara only once and when their name wasnt revealed at all.

"If the fallen child weren't meant to be named after the player, the fallen child wouldn't be manually nameable at all, and the murder ending would look a lot different and would likely need to be rewritten entirely"

Exept you know to mislead the player about which character they control during the whole game and reveal that the character you name and the one you control are not the same.And perhaps because Chara's character fully depends on the player and their interpretation.

"The entire point is to hold the player responsible for the actions they take in any game, not just Undertale."

How naming Chara after ourselves make us more responsible for your actions?

"(also the fallen child is always referred to with they/them pronouns ingame)"

Just like Nastablook,Ice wolf,monster kid,Frisk,mad dummy's cousin etc...
