To believe that Chara is a confused, hurt child. ( I refer to Chara as she b/c I named her after myself in the game. I also am sticking to a singular pronoun so I don't have to fix my grammar all the time and purely let the thoughts flow)

1. Chara does not push the player towards the Genocidal route. We made Chara the powerful entity she is.

2. She mentions how she was confused at the beggining of our arrival but as time went by we were able to guide her into the right path. This suggests that she was atmost hollow or without feelings but not evil. -End of Geno route

3.  She also asks to explain the point of us starting over and over again to have the same ending. Questions us as to why we keep subjecting ourselves to this. Calls us sick and twisted and suggests we change the way the world turns out (opting for neutral or pacifist). - End of Geno route

4. She is laughing off the fact that their father got poisonned because that's how many characters from the game deal with stress, sadness, nervousness, awkwardness, etc. Awkward laughs are used CONSTANTLY in this game.

5. Her history with the Dreemurs is meant to be taken at face value. She loves the Dreemurs and she sees the plight of the monsters. She hears many their wishes to be free and chooses to sacrifice herself (and becomming somewhat of an anti-hero) to break the barrier.

6. She discusses her plans with Asriel who, although is hesitant, agrees with her plan and wants to also go through with it (Tapes).

7. As the narrator she helps us progress, translates foreign dialogues and offer extra information in each fight that we as the player need in order to choose the right action.

8. She knits Asgore a sweater and hung pictures on the wall. A photo frame of their family is always at her bedside (New home). She mentions that Asgore still has the sweater and does not mention anything when staring at the picture.

9. The kids accidentally made butterscotch pie with the flowers because thats the type of things kids do, I once made bread with pinecones and fed it to my dad. Needless to say it was disgusting but I thought it would taste great.

10. Only the narrator knows that Asriel must be saved. Without that option given to us the best we can do is keep sparing until something happens or hope our friends will help us defeat him. Theres something within us that is preventing.

11. Chara just seems depressed in the flashbacks. She doesnt seem to be in a good place.

12. There is reason for Chara to hate humans, but not enough to explain her hate for monsters

Personal opinion not an argument: I have played this game 3 times and I cannot see why making a creepy face means a character is evil. It was a fun moment Asriel and Chara shared because he wanted her to do it again for the camera. Also it is not implied anywhere that Asriel was bullied by Chara either.
