Ok, first of all, thanks for reminding me about necroposting, whoever that was.

Could you explain the reasons you find determinator's post on this topic to be incorrect? Almost everything they say is backed with ingame references. It's true that nothing that is assumed from their actions is actually canon, but that's how inferences work: it's not necessarily fact but it's implied.

I've also seen a lot of arguments that since Chara hated humanity, they were either evil or wouldn't help Frisk. Again, they died, and they could've gotten over whatever past trauma that caused them to develop a hate of humanity. That's an assumption, though, but there is pretty solid evidence that Chara is the narrator that learns from you. Not facts, just evidence. Asriel post-pacifist was most likely referring to Chara in life as he remembers them, supported by the fact he uses past tense to refer to them.

Overall, I believe Chara is directly influenced by the experiences we bestow on them. This is a fun debate.
