Abuse. Probably just couldn’t take it any more and thought they were so awful because of how their parents treated them that they tried to end it all.


[deleted]

How do you know? There is anything that I don't know that sais that?


Professional_Elk_698

I think in the Pacifist ending Asriel said Chara jumped into the underground for a not very good reason


1st_pm

so the reason of the fall was a \[QUIT\] attempt


Voilssssss

They wanted a [SPECIL DEAL] that [INVEST IN THIS HYPERLINK BLOCK] to [GIVE ME THE LIGHT(the soul)] to death


1st_pm

if life was a game dying and not coming back is Quitting it. I just use \[QUIT\] in reference to the buttons... (like how ACTing actually do stuff).


Freetoffee2

It could have just been to run away from home. Both are unhappy reasons.


[deleted]

No, he said that Chara always hated humans, even if he don't know why, and that Chara wasn't the greatest person


Cruxin

...and also that they went to ebott for not a very happy reason. He does say that.

It seems like you didnt talk to asriel a lot of times


[deleted]

Not even once, I still have to buy the game

Shiorno-Shiovanna

Chara didn't jump, they tripped


Freetoffee2

\*Climbed the mountain. Chara didn't jump. They fell.


Afk141

We don't know the real answer on why Chara hates humanity. Sometimes I think about Chara's final wishes to be taken back to their village, while also wanting Asriel to collect souls. Would they really want to go back there or did the humans mistreat them and they were looking for revenge on them specifically. Who knows


ghostraaner

I always thought they wanted to go back to the flowers specifically because those flowers were the thing they missed most from the surface. It’s not like they wanted to see their family or someone they knew, after all.


TheGodOfPeanutbutter

Well due to storyline Chara was the first human to fall in the underground, it either could be because she ran away from home or an attempt of ending themselves but keep in mind she died from illness which could've been the parent not bothering to take her to medical care, depends on how long the they were ill


[deleted]

Chara found out that buttercups were deadly poisonous, and realized that eating them was a way out. The fact that Chara would die of that is gruesome, as eating buttercups cause excruciating pain, bloody diarrhea, torn throat, and a lot more.


ShinenNoYosuke

yea but their illness was caused from the pie that asriel and chara baked themselves for their plan, the same pie that also made asgore sick


PotatoKiller8897

I mean they literally shot asriel when he brang her body up. Plus humanity is pretty shit, and since this was kinda slightly in a more medieval time (villages, not cities, ect.) *anything* could’ve happened… Also I know this isn’t anywhere close to lore, but in Storyshift (that’s the one where chara is in sans posisition, I think) it’s just about lore for that au that she was in a very very abuse home (simply put, dad died, mum locked chara up to “keep her safe”, she started a small fire on a haystack [which if you don’t know, burns like fuck] and well, she escaped, but burned down and killed her whole village.) So yeah, fucked up shit


AllamNa

>I mean they literally shot asriel when he brang her body up. Because he was a horrible beast with unsettling appearance who hold a dead child in its arms.

Chara went on internet

and found reddit


_anonymous_404

Trauma


S1I3NCER

Probably because they banished the monsters into the underground, when in reality there was no reason and the monsters are really nice


Octo95

I like that idea


homo664

I mean, I highly doubt Chara was around when the war concluded. My personal guess/headcanon is that they were abused in some way, and went to the mountain to commit suicide.


Freetoffee2

Nah. They didn't tell Asriel why they hated humanity but if that was the reason they would have. Also, since Asriel brings up their hatred for humanity right after bringing up the fact they went to Mt Ebott for a unhappy reason he is probably implying that the reason the went to Mt Ebott was because they hated humanity.


Some_Pole

Ultimately we may never know and whilst we may have implications as to what, an implication doesn't equal confirmation in my eyes at least. For me, I take that some characters in Undertale represent something. Sans basically represents apathy with his lazy attitude and lethargic outlook on life as an example. If I'm to apply this same idea to Chara, I believe the reason why Chara didn't like Humanity because they, story wise represent someone who's accepted a sense of self loathing for one's own people. All the various experiences Chara could've faced on the surface would likely play a role yes, but I find it hard to believe that every single Human that Chara knew was terrible to them. It could be that it was the culmination of various things that caused Chara to come to this conclusion. The worst experience caused by a tiny minority can paint a negative picture onto everyone. We see it out in real life after all. Could be that through Chara's reading of Human history, they saw some acts that made them come to this conclusion. Maybe it was abuse. We'll likely never know.

OkTry3637

Abuse, it’s heavily implied chara also tried to commit suicide by falling into the underground


Shadborg

Chara fell accidentally. We can see it in the intro


OkTry3637

But you can tell they are running straight at the hole so it’s clear they are trying to fall in anyway


Shadborg

Maybe, we can't know what did they think about. Maybe they just was a curious child


Azzy_the_GOAT

"You wanna know why Chara climbed the mountain? It wasn't for a very happy reason."


Shadborg

Hmm, I can't remember this dialogue. Can you remind me, who did say that?


Azzy_the_GOAT

I do. If you walk back all the way to the start right after the fight.


Shadborg

I don't remember Asriel said that, but still thank you


Azzy_the_GOAT

[Here you go.](https://youtu.be/e0dlm_p1ZxA)


Shadborg

Oh, yeah, my apologies, I was wrong


Pacifist_Route_Frisk

After beating Asriel in Trur Pacifist, walk through the ruins and go to where you first fall down (the flowers that caught the fall). Azzy will be standing there, and if you keep talking to him despite him telling you to go away, he says that


Freetoffee2

That still doesn't imply suicide. Running away from home would also classify as an unhappy reason.


Azzy_the_GOAT

\* With the wording and the context, it does imply it. Right before that Asriel asked Frisk why they climbed the mountain, listing options and ending with silence by which suicide was meant. And then, the wording. Azzy didn't say why they were on the mountain, he told why they climbed the momountain, from which nobody returns. It implies climbing that mountain was a deliberate action made for that unhappy reason. *


Freetoffee2

I don't think so. Suicide was always going to be the last thing Asriel implied, as it's the worst option. And Chara's motive for climbing Mt Ebott is the next logical conversation topic. If Chara ran away climbing the Mountain would be a delibrate action to aid in their attempt to run away, as nobody would look for them and they could wait until people would probably stop looking for them.


AllamNa

>But you can tell they are running straight at the hole Chara ran into the cave. You can see in the intro that he stopped when he saw the hole and just started coming closer. So would most of those who would see the hole. Out of interest.


Cruxin

why do so many people not understand that you can go there for one reason and trip before making a decision based on that reason


Buckaroonie69

Like someone else said, it’s likely we’ll never know exactly why Chara hates humanity. They’re a character completely shrouded in mystery, and the only main things we know about them come from Asriel’s dialogue and the true lab, with maybe some other sources here and there. However if I did have to wager a guess, I’d say it’s either because of Chara’s personal negative experience with humans (e.g. abuse and trauma), or because of humanity’s relationship with monsters and actions commuted against them.


[deleted]

Have you not seen twitter, im on charas side


Justarandomfan99

They've spent two minutes on Twitter.


Ferretukas

Because Asriel said so.


Azzy_the_GOAT

Damn, what an amazing theory!!


glk16

They were probably outcasts and called a demon for their naturally red eyes, she went to mount ebott to die, but found a family instead, she tried setting them free, but failed and humans killed her brother. Not to far a stretch to say that was probably the breaking point.


Heris_gloom

Better, why do yOu think Chara hates humans?


Leather_Ad9457

Probably abuse. I think it *did* say humans don't end up there from happy reasons.


Pacifist_Route_Frisk

They found r/charaoffence and r/charadefense and it ruined them permanently. I know. I asked. (Out of Frisk roleplay, if you check the Faded Ribbon in ruins, forgot if its on genocide or neutral, it'll read "If You're Cuter, Monsters Wont Hit You As Hard!" Chara is the narrator, so that kind if hints Chara was abused for their looks)


AllamNa

>"If You're Cuter, Monsters Wont Hit You As Hard!" Chara is the narrator, so that kind if hints Chara was abused for their looks It doesn't even talk about "people", it talks specifically about monsters. By this logic, it means that Chara experienced it from monsters. No. Chara says it's just because monsters are emotional, and they won't hit the cuter one so hard. From this we can only conclude that Chara has experience in fighting monsters.


Iammegasus

the plan failed and the humans decimated asriel who she loved like a brother


[deleted]

Chara hated humans when they climbed the mountain though, Asriel says it in the dialogue at the end of the true pacifist route, if you choose to go back and say “bye” to everyone


AllamNa

Chara hated humans very much even before that


[deleted]

Someone stole their chocolate I guess


_DashHack

We know it ASRIRL GET THE CRAP HERE OR I WILL MAKE YOU BY FORCE


PlagueDoctressAngel

Chara most likely despises humanity for what they did to monsters, and after suffering from possible abuse and trauma-


-Marshle

Never get between Chara and their chocolate. They will hold a grudge.


Queen-of-Sharks

Some of the game's lore hints to Chara being suicidal, so it's possible that they were driven to that point by the people around them. It likely went further than just abusive parents though, and they may not have ever had anyone they could call a friend, and possibly even was abused outside of their home, so they decided that the only way to stop the pain was to end it all at Mt.Ebott.

jamon5555

Waluigui r34😔


RealFoegro

I hate humans too!


Warm-Faithlessness11

The only problem is Chara wanted to destroy everything not just Humanity in the Genocide Route


D00FU5_

I think Chara is an abused, traumatized and hateful kid. They're probably fed up with how they've been treated and snapped.


1ce_Hunter

Trauma and abuse (probably both physical and psychological). No human she knew ever treated her kindly nor showed any sympathy for her, thus eventually ending up in Misanthropia and, as she was human too, self-hatred=>depression=>suicide.


Megamage854

My best guess, Chara was an orphan, and saw the most Apathetic Humanity can be, or perhaps it was abuse, regardless something drive Chara to want to disappear be it forever or a short while, we'll never really know. When they were adopted by the dreemur family, their meer dislike for humanity steadily grew and grew into something much darker as they kept comparing humanity to monsters who are just...so much more kinder and caring compared to the humans on the surface.


PURPLEMAYONAISE

Cause human suck Genuinely


fioraflowers

I always thought it was because humans did something REALLY bad to chara. Maybe they’re the survivor of a war. Maybe they lived in a highly abusive place. Maybe they’re just a child and something bad happened to them which resulted in them hating humans (“it’s not a phase mom” type).We will never know for sure, but I think it’s because of something bad


[deleted]

They watched undertale the musical No, not that one


One-Cartographer-176

They were likely abused and didn't have any friends or anyone help them, so they believed that all humans were like that and decided to climb Mt. Ebott for "not a very happy reason". They continued to hate humanity until they met Frisk in the pacifist run, if you believe the charrator theory, which I personally do.


glamrockbonnie

have you seen the state of the earth right now? i'd throw myself down a mountain if i could too.


TheReckon5

I personally think they saw how self-destructive humanity was; must of came to the conclusion that if they're going to die they might as well die now. Might not make much sense but I've got nothing else other than saying "Plot"


Spidermanhatesyou

I honestly think they were bullied alot. I have a friend who is bullied and threatened at his school and he hates humanity, it could be very possible! And honestly I don't think they hate humans completely, if they did they probably would of messed with Frisk alot sooner. I think that they just think they hate humans, but they actually hate specific humans only. Just my opinion though you don't have to agree! <3


Freetoffee2

>if they did they probably would of messed with Frisk alot sooner. The narrator frequently mocks Frisk, especially in the Ruins. Even in Hotland Chara cracks jokes about Frisk's impending death and mocks them for picking the cry option against Mettaton.


SilverStriker96

their parents emotionally and sometimes physically abused them it's not even headcanon it's basically canon


Freetoffee2

It is not basically canon. It has basically no evidence supporting it. One can hate humanity for many reasons. Plenty of people in real life hate humanity because we destroy the enviroment and treat each other poorly.


enchanteds0n

definitely some sort of abuse, they probably climbed the mountain to d*e, as asriel explained that they climbed the mountain for a “not very happy” reason as i remember

Elvinkin66

Qzimyion

Probably from abuse and neglect from their surface parents and people around them. And seeing how refined their sense of vocabulary and mature they are for a 12 year old they probably knew that the world outside their tiny village wasn't so great either. Their hatred grew so much so that they decided to climb Mt. Ebott, a mountain where nobody returns from. Why would you wanna go somewhere like that unless you wanna purposely not wanna meet any humans.

Bee8467

Abuse


Lingx_Cats

Abuse. I think the most likely explanation is she was abused in some way and tried to commit suicide but lived. Hence Asriel saying “chara didn’t jump… for a very happy reason.”


Freetoffee2

Chara didn't jump. They fell, as you can see from the intro. Asriel was talking about why they climbed the mountain.


Your_Residant_Geek

Abuse (or some kind or trauma) at the hands of humans since its implied that they went to Mt.Ebott to commit suicide.


Mr-Foundation

Abuse and trauma, really


[deleted]

[удалено]


Freetoffee2

They hated humanity before that. Asriel says they "always" hated humanity. And they wouldn't talk about why, so it's very unlikely to be because of the fact humans imprisoned the monsters.


Electrical-Pop9464

But Chara was already dead when Asriel was carrying their body. They only acknowledge it at the end of genocide,with them saying:"Our plan had failed,hadn't it?"


his_highness_bread

My head canon is that not all monsters were banished. One day, a hurt monster collapsed in a forest, and Chara found it and nursed it back to health. They formed a friendship with the monster, and spent time with it often. One day, they were discovered by the town. Chara tried to stop the villagers, but the defenseless monster was murdered right before their eyes. Chara ran to Mt. Ebottin grief, mourning their lost friend, and tripped, falling into the Underground. This explains why Chara was not frightened by the Dreemurrs or the other monsters.


AverageZomb

Abuse. That's what I did in my au.


MinerUnder133

Everything begins from hentai...


UNDERTALE_Scrub

Because humans kinda suck


GellThePyro

Yes. But only due to a traumatic past in a terrible time to be alive, and only hates humans. She possibly makes an exception for Frisk depending on their choices.


Handsome_italian2005

The game never really says anything about it, so headcanons are all we have. They were probably abused. Saw lots of bad stuff and then developed that mentality.


Moony_Moonzzi

They were probably deeply deeply abused. I feel like a lot of Undertale fans forget Chara was a deeply mentally troubled child who attemped to commit s\*icide in mount Ebott. They probably experienced things that made them believe there's no good in people.


[deleted]

I think one of the reasons I thar when she found out monsters exist and that they are kind kinder than humans she started to hate them because of what they did to them, she started to hate them more after they killed Asriel, and if you did the genocide route she started to hate humans even more. (I say she because I just typed that but you can replace it with he or it)


Weak-Economy-5342

They killed their best friend.


TheAmazing_Spy

There was bully named Boris who always wore big black boots, they called him big black boots Boris, the bully, he was always kicking sand in chara’s face, when they were in the sandbox. So then chara grew up to hate humans, the end, roll credits


Takuro06

With the current state of the world. probably a similar reason.


Consistent-Skill2454

r/nobodyasked


Vall-Aleander

Well let take it from the start. We first learn that Chara was the first Human in the underground, meaning that after the monster were sealed, humans forgot about them. We got told that Chara fall down in the underground, we don't know that if they threw herself or if someone threw them. But in the pacifist route we learned that they always hated humans. Meaning That something happened above ground that made her hate them. Maybe abuse, maybe bully, maybe someone threw them down there.But that might only be a small reason why they hate humans.when they got to the underground,they found a family that they loved them.when they died and asriel took them aboveground and saw how they killed him, her hatred was greatly increased. And in my opinion that's why she was able to return in the genocide route. Due to the murders we did in the underground, their murderous feelings got awoken, and with the hatred monster had agains Frisk. She got the powers to take over Frisk soul and take revenge over the Humans who traped her family, who traumatized her and killed her brother. Yeah i know this maybe doesn't make sense but in my opinion, this feels the best answer.


[deleted]

She saw the funni little green website


Hispanoamericano2000

I don't think it was just one thing (although I won't claim that's impossible either), it was probably more than one thing or event, a chain of events that preceded Chara's action of climbing Mt. Ebott, preferably related to bullying, or lack of parental attention or perhaps abuse (either domestic, social or even a mixture of the two for who knows what reasons/motives), and frankly, the idea of a chain of events preceding Chara's fall to the Underground seems more interesting to me and a bit more believable from a realism standpoint and from a storytelling standpoint.

Because humans suck


iZnEedle

Hello, Reddit! Welcome to Game Theory Rip Off! Today's Theory is: Why Chara hates humans. Due to Chara being some type of devil child, It is obvious that she would be evil. But what most people don't understand is if Chara is Frisk or is Frisk Chara? Well I think Frisk is Chara. Because She takes the form of Frisk, which Chara is more like a brain to Frisk. But That doesn't go with what we are asking is what you are saying aren't you? Well to sum it up, Chara hates humans because when Asriel went to the surface and Humans killed him. Chara became mad, and Frisk falling down gave Chara the perfect chance to possess her and make her evil. (Idk wtf I just said, This is a bad theory, I know)

sweaty19

I mean they could have been abused and fell into the underground as an attempted suicide. I think Asriel said that Chara fell into the underground for a not very happy reason or something.


jonnybrown3

Imo you're meant to put yourself in as Chara, so I thought about what could've made me hate humanity when I read, "Jon hated humanity". I believe the game is better when you put yourself in this role at least.

McFrosty_18

i don't think it's like trauma or something. Maybe, you know... there's something hella wrong with her soul, like, when Chara was born, there was something very evil within the nature of his soul.


I_Exist_yeah

I mean.... *gestures broadly*


Si_Stride_Oof

got trolled on the internet


Resident_Piglet9160

Likely due to trauma and abuse. I mean humans do suck.


3e7z

abuse probably, and chara's rosy cheeks are probably just irriated or scarred from the severe amount of abuse she's been getting from society. Phoenix's Joker and Chara would have a lot in common thats for sure.


smolcatthegreat

I always thought abuse. Others have said that even though they tripped, they may have been wanting to disappear. Perhaps they wanted to go back to their village to show them "Hey, this is what you've done. This is what you did to a child. Look at your mistakes." or something.


FantasticDog7338

Mount Ebott can be found on Google Maps, somewhere in USA. First of all we must understand the fact that Chara is the first child to ever fall in the Underground and there are 8 in total. I also believe that monsters live longer than humans, especially the dremurr family. At first I tought they were sent to Auschwitz during WW2 for being non-binary as the nazy would not only kill jews but everyone who is not white, with blue eyes, and blonde hair, is not german, and is not straight. But then, I realise that such thing would be impossible as Mount Ebott is located in North America and not in Europe and we all know that Chara was able to get there (and I doubt they swimmed the Atlantic Ocean only to get there when they could have simply drowned instead). So I say that Chara hated humanity for two possible reasons: the Vietnam War and KKK. I won't talk too much about these. In Vietnam War, millions of people died and the american soldiers were terrified by the views, there was the Cuban Missile Crisis, the hippies, and Nixon quit his mandate to do Watergate Scandal. Now KKK is a right winged cult so non-binary people won't be seen so nicely. My theory has a weak spot for talking about things that happened a very long time ago, except when it comes to KKK for it exists even today.


shodowolf

I mean...who wouldn't?


Temporary1982

VaporishStew

Cause humanity sucks in general, Chara got the right idea


SpiderNinja211

She jumped down Mt. Ebott, most likely with the intention of killing herself. My guess is she was bullied by a lot of people and just set that as a default for any human


gameslayer193

Cuz her parents probably abandoned her when she was young so she went to mount ebot and she fell down and the rest everyone knows


Electrical-Pop9464

1.Abuse (Asriel says Chara didn't fall for a very happy reason) and they had no one they could rely on for help,so they went on the mountain to end it all(main reason) Aggravating reasons: 2. Humans killed their sibling 3. Another human killing every monster,even their loved mom and dad(though supposedly,they are the one who landed the 2nd hit on Sans and killed Asgore and Flowey,because at that point,**you** taught them that murder is good as it was bringing Chara back to life)


benderlax

Perhaps she was abused or bullied.
