It's really easy, you people are overthinking. Chara CAN be the player, but not necessarily. At the end of genocide Chara makes it clear that s/he is the reincarnation of your power lust. To a player only doing the genocide run out of curiosity, Chara is Frisk's power lust. But to a min-maxer, Chara is part of him/herself. The genocide ending leaves room for both interpretations.
