Honestly, I don't know WHERE this idea came from that you have to "guide Chara down the right path". What evidence does Chara show of being a good person in the pacifist route? I mean, really? Chara doesn't even APPEAR in the pacifist route; they ONLY make an in-person appearance when you're evil. That by itself says a lot. It suggests that it wasn't your arrival in the Underground, but rather your violent acts, which awoke Chara. Otherwise they would appear in both routes.

Then there's the way Asriel treats Chara. Let's keep in mind that who Asriel perceives you as being depends wholly on how NICE you are. He starts out thinking you MIGHT be Chara. In the Genocide route, this is immediately confirmed for him when you start KILLING people. Once you initiate Genocide, Asriel recognises you as Chara. Conversely, in the True Pacifist route, when you prove how nice of a person you are, Asriel IMMEDIATELY says "you're not Chara, are you?" He then goes on to spend ages talking about how different you are, closely followed by "Chara wasn't the greatest person." I think that makes it PRETTY clear what kind of person Chara was. Making a sweater (and keep in mind, it's not confirmed that CHARA made that; maybe they both did, or maybe it was Asriel) doesn't automatically make someone a good person.

I honestly think this is just Foxy from FNAF all over again - "he's not evil, just misunderstood". People don't want characters to be evil once they've decided they LIKE them. And one thing I've learned is that they'll stretch ANY canon, bend ANY in-game evidence, break ANY rule, to make that character fit what they want them to be.

Also Frisk is the very definition of innocent. Frisk has no character whatsoever. They're a blank canvas. You literally cannot GET any more innocent than that.
