Let's not get it twisted, Chara has some issues very clearly and does have a very misanthropic feel to what little we know of his overall character when he was alive. But Chara being the villain is just an erroneous statement. I agree with TheHumanAmbassador when they say the player is Frisk, we are playing the role of Frisk in this story and is OUR actions not Chara's that shape the outcome.

If anything Chara is the one to teach Frisk a lesson after the Genocide, even if Frisk decides they don't want to go through with erasing the world Chara will force them to face the consequences of their actions and bargains their free will via their soul should they wish to reset.
