also, "every elf is absolutely perfect and beautiful"

yes

but

every human is absolutely perfect and beautiful as well

it's just the media that's preventing us from being ourselves as humans. we're not ugly, we're beautiful. we're not dumb, we just don't have the "perfect" brain capacity of said elves. we're not evil, we just have instincts left over from evolution that cause imperfections in what we do. and it seems that elves are the same; they're violent when they get provoked. they can literally manipulate people with abilities. and that's disgusting. they are not perfect. they are not exponentially better than humans.

all elves are is a personification of the media

but this is also one huge thing that makes kotlc so interesting. humans, from sophie's perspective, are so different from the other elves. it's intriguing, seeing sophie have to deal with these elves who believe that humans are inferior or that they are ugly or dumb or violent or evil.
