Casual reminder there are 2 groups of elves in the Witcher universe/world.
The Aen Seidhe who are the elves everyone interacts with in some way or another on the planet/continent that the Witcher stories take place on.
They are generally human sized, fragmented as a society, and very much in decline after fucking around and finding out with the humans who arrived on the continent after a Conjuction of Spheres where different worlds are close enough to each other travel between them can occur. This event is how pretty much every sentient race arrived on the world, including vampires, and much like humans the Aen Seidhe are not native to the world having arrived 2000 years prior to the humans. At which point they promptly started wars with the local dwarves already present who still weren't the first race to arrive there, that would be the gnomes. After repeatedly losing then attempting an uprising that led to even more dead elves they are now a shadow of their former selves and deeply resentful because of it.
Then there are the Aen Elle, who could be described as "cousins" to the Aen Seidhe. Much larger cousins who can the reach 9 feet in height, don't like anyone, raid and pillage everyone else including the Aen Seidhe, and are in fact the titular "Wild Hunt" of the third game that goes around doing the aforementioned raiding and pillaging.
Oh and they are literally racial supremacists, too. That live on another world. Behind a dimensional wall. That was previously occupied by one other sentient race. Unicorns. That the Aen Elle almost wiped out.
Historical fighting between humans and Aen Seidhe aside the other group of elves are not in any way "the good guys". They can, and would, quite literally use up other worlds and the people on them as fuel when required because their own world is facing an extinction level event that is beleived to be stopped by the power Ciri possesses which is one of the reasons they want her. Another which is really more of a slightly adjacent reason rather than distinct one is that in order to use the power properly it needs to be wielded by Ciri's daughter. So the Aen Elle, and a whole lot of other people including Ciri's biological father, want to impregnate her so that they have said daughter to then use.
Any and all sympathy for elves dies the moment the Aen Elle show up because they are not there to make friends. The lucky ones dies on the spot, everyone else ends up as slaves.

That's still a more kind and gentle way of describing their genocidal, ethnostate that enslaves or outright kills anyone not of use. Or even of use, seeing as how one of the main things they do with any slaves they capture is to work/drain them like a battery in another dimension where time travels quicker.
Even if you do watch, a tiny thing you can do is seed good shows and stop seeding woke ones immediately when downloaded.
The rankings on torrent sites are based on number of seeders and it's generally a few hundred people seeding at the same time so you can have an outsized impact just by seeding with some old laptop. On VPN of course.
At the same time, it's also a fantasy world and thus doesn't need to reflect history either! If it has dragons and wizards and magic, then it's perfectly reasonable to have black people everywhere in predominantly European settings while gays and enbees have sex in the street without anyone raising an eyebrow!
All they had to do was adapt the books reasonably faithfully and they had one of the best looking men on Earth who is built like a real life superhero and is also a huge gamer nerd ready to play Geralt forever, and they managed to completely fuck that up because they hate everything that's good in the world.
Elves seem to look less like elves as time goes on..
I believe the word you're looking for is 'uglier'. :')
TV writers all universally believe that elves are just humans with pointy ears.
just like america

When the ears stick out like fake tits, it's time to hang it up.
Stop watching the propaganda.
Get friends and family to stop watching it too.

What a combination of extreme paranoia and absurd naivete
Combined with living under a rock.
Ofcourse the white male gets sexually assaulted and emasculated and that's a good thing!
Towards the end the other white male tries to kiss the current thing 'black female role' and gets intercepted by her hand.
Anyone else laugh when that female imp was holding up that hammer? Most useless member of the entire group, and then some.
But hey its got that Asian woman from that movie
Chinese Squirters 5?
No Henry Cavill, no reason at all to watch
Say it with me: FANTASYđź‘Ź FICTIONđź‘Ź MUSTđź‘Ź REPRESENTđź‘Ź MODERNđź‘Ź AUDIENCESđź‘Ź

Cue the circus music.
Shocked!!!! Cavill was right. Buying the books for my Christmas gift this year
