Instead of Doge doing wacky and uncharacteristic things for a dog, it was master Yoda doing wacky and uncharacteristic things for a Jedi Master, killing minorities with a Honda Civic. This is also what perhaps got the subreddit banned, it's overly edgy nature, and the moderators even having flairs dedicated to posts for memes which included things related to killing minorities.
