Quick lore dump for the Witcher, not that this show or the "actual" one bothered with it:
Elves are split into 2 main groups. One are an authoritarian, genocidal group living in an ethnostate on another world, and the others are pretty much the exact same thing except after they kicked the Dwarves around for years humans showed up and returned the favour.
Elves are absolutely shitheads in the Witcher universe. Either they are literal baby eating nazis [not actually much hyperbole in that one], or permanent victim complex whiners, because they started a fight they then lost. Repeatedly. Multiple times.
Not just this, but the humans were forced into this universe by the conjunction of the spheres, they were an oppressed people who were able to rapidly breed and out compete their oppressors to become the dominant species. The elves are doing everything they an to try and reclaim their power and would absolutely eradicate humanity if they could. Even the 'good' ones
There's a metaphor here, surely...
"Around an elf, protect yourself!"
