The only real effect it had was a bunch of hand-wringing journos penning articles about how bad it /could/ have been if it /happened/ to be racist essentially trying to justify their own existence by making up controversy where none existed

If you're smart enough to know the word "semiotics", you're also smart enough to know how language drift works -- by people consistently using a particular word or cultural sign in a new meaning and forgetting about the old one. Which is exactly what Cuphead is doing.

Stop clinging so hard to the etymology of the signs. Let them be what they are *now*. No one even *remembers* any of this shit other than cartoon historians or people who actually lived through that time period, and Cuphead's target audience is not 80 year old people.
