'Dark elves' doesn't mean what they think it means.
It's not about skin color. It's not about good or evil.
Those who read the books know. This has zero to do with what Tolkien wrote, or ever wanted. Because he fleshed out his world unlike any other has before or since.
If these people hate whiteness so damn much, why are they trying to culturally appropriate white culture?
Think about it.
Black Panther had a story to tell.
So did Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Neither NEEDED to interject or invent new characters from other cultures to be fantastically interesting in their own right.
But Tolkien?
All of this.

As I've seen other comments about this subject it almost seems like they're going out of their way to destroy a cherished piece of British/western culture.
They could do a fantasy show that is D&D and have all the woke stuff in the world. Whatever races, genders, sexual orientations and such because that fits D&D which is random as hell. Yet they released a D&D cartoon that has all the heroes being white. Scanlan is a womanizer and is a beloved character.
It just doesn't make any sense unless they're purposely trying to attack British/western culture when it comes to LOTR.
