I asked myself why I hate elves so much - after all, I have no such qualms about the myriad other fantasy races (except kenders and their derivatives, but let's not open that can of worms) - but then I realised it's because they are quite literally a race of Sues. A cheat race. An equivalent of an OC hedgehog of that one autistic kid. It's a race that wants to eat its cake and have it too: they are of slim, elegant build, and posses massive strength despite lacking any visible muscles. They live like hippies and shit their pants whenever cutting wood is mentioned, yet they somehow are master craftsmen, they have no industry, yet are somehow the most technologically advanced, they live in forests and keep no domestic animals, yet somehow weave great cloth, they don't mine, yet they have metals for great blades, they sleep in deer poop and guano, yet they never get ill, they have no dental care, yet their teeth are always pearly white, they have a shitty root & berries diet, yet they somehow don't look like ghoulish virgins, they cannot have paper because muh trees, yet they have extensive books and records, and so on. Even if different works play them a bit differently, there are always cases like this with elves. They are self-contradictory. They're an abomination that defies the laws of causality. This is why you should beware and hate the elf - elves are aberrations in need of being corrected.
