I've got something to say here. Everyone in this thread has brought up good points, now I want to bring one too. Chara is a really confusing character, but, even if they may not be fully evil, they still have this evilness by their side. Here's my proof (please correct me if I'm wrong in anything, I'm not good at explaining):

1. According to their plan, Chara wanted to gather the human souls so that the monsters could escape - this means that Chara wated to help the monsters, right? Because why else would their risk their life. But then, at the end of a Genocide, they state that "together, we eradicated the enemy." This enemy Chara talks about are the monsters, of course. First, they want to help, then they say that monsters are their enemy? This led me to think that Chara never wanted to free monsterkind, but kill humans out of hatred. This, then, would mean Chara is indeed manipulative, using Asriel to take part of this plan against his will as you can see he was clearly not content with it.

2. Chara seems to have something with knives. Something creepy, at that. As early as in the Ruins, Chara already starts asking "where are the knives." You have only killed all the monsters in the Ruins, which aren't a lot compared to other locations. Chara starts showing a murderous nature at this early point.

3. The bag of dog food at the lab gets me the most. You don't even need to be in a Genocide to trigger this, which supports the fact that Chara has a murderous side. If you've killed all the dogs in Snowdin (and other monsters, I think), the text will say that "you remembered something funny." Chara finds the dogs' deaths funny, whether or not you're on a Genocide route.

4. The "laughed it off" thing may seem like the childish way to deal with something, yes, but what Flowey says at the end of this route tells me something else: that Chara often deals with worrisome things by laughing. You see how Flowey says that "it isn't funny", and that Chara has a "sick sense of humor" when he becomes aware of their intentions. That means they're laughing, or grinning widely. At what, you ask? Well, probably at everything you've one so far. Chara also laughs when they destroy the entire world, and at the end of a soulless Pacifist. They find despair, pain, and death funny.

5. I believe that Chara didn't care all that much for their adoptive family. They kill Asgore and Flowey without hesitation, ignoring the fact that they both loved them and acted as a family. They kill Asgore for no reason at all, other than to clear their path, and Flowey because he ruined their plan. And even if it was true that they died in vain and had reasons to be hell mad, it doesn't justify this. Chara is vengeful, we can see it here. Deathly vengeful.

Oh, and something I'm not sure of, but I'll point it out anyways. I believe Chara is soulless (why else would they want your soul?), and that makes them a being like Flowey: unable to feel love or compassion. You may say, "but if Chara is the narrator, they are funny and cheerful in a Pacifist route!" And I won't deny it, they are. But I believe this is a trick to hide their true self. Because they have no reason to talk in a creepy way if you're being nice to everyone. It's like Flowey at the beggining of the game. He acts all friendly, but that is just a trick to hide his actual personality. Being soulless doesn't mean one can't pretend to be funny and childish, or even actually be funny and childish.

I think I'm missing something, but for now I leave it like this. This is what I think. Note that I don't believe Chara is a complete sicko, but definitely enjoys anything involving death at certain points.
