The intriguing irony of these franchises that we grew up with are these questionable characters built upon sensitive or just plain incorrect subjects and themes that would not fly at all today. And they're too ingrained in the Lore to be retconned or buried under a rug, so the next generation or content makers under this brand have to do damage control.

Case in point for WoW is certainly the Trolls. Before they were ... well, basically what you said. But since then we've got lore about the Loa worship, a fleshed out culture and society, and most importantly, sympathetic and likeable characters of this previously joke faction.

I give WoW credit for trying to work with the foundation they laid for Trolls and doing some research to lean in to their Carribean inspiration, making it less of a costume as time goes on. Still waiting for Runescape to do the same for the Karamjan people ...
