Rafip, that's a very black-and-white approach to it. We don't actually know why Chara hated humanity. That justification could mean the difference between someone who's just evil, or an abused child striking back at their abusers. That said, their first target for punishment is always themself. They didn't pick up a weapon and attack people, they attempted to kill themself by climbing Mt. Ebott. Rather than be the 'future of humans and monsters,' they actually commit suicide in a horribly painful way. It would have been evil if they had planned to steal his body and go on a rampage, but they didn't. They couldn't have known that control of the body would be shared, their act was purely one of sacrifice. Granted, it was brought about through manipulation and emotional blackmail. You brought up just how many monsters they killed by erasing the timeline? That's after the player has driven Chara insane and Frisk catatonic with LOVE. I think the most telling piece of narration when it comes to Chara's 'evilness' is actually the Worn Dagger. Unless you've killed all the monsters, Chara only sees it as a gardening tool, not a weapon at all. It's easy to reach the end of a Genocide playthrough, meet Chara, and label them 'evil' because they give a monologue and end the game, but there's a reason Toby encourages you to use your own name for the human. If you get to that point, the only one you have to blame is yourself.
