"It's pronounced 'dog-ee'", I insist to the time traveler. "You have to remember - it's how a dog would spell doggy. Why would a dog invent rules about how the e works in English?"
The creator of Infiniminer, a defunct shooter that wasn't just a heavy influence on Minecraft but basically set up the community and basic gameplay ideas that allowed Minecraft to exist at all, has said that he stopped feeling any sort of way about Minecraft's success once it got incredibly big. Like once it got bought for billions of dollars it just started being a fake thing. That's where doge is at I think.
What happened with doge would have happened no matter what once the fascists came in. That it was connected with something cute and likable is just some kind of weird quirk that doesn't matter. And it's all so big it becomes fake.
