Yoko's Asterisk 🏳️⚧Kinda baffled by the "we need a female Indiana Jones" discourse rn.
I mean.... Lara Croft *exists*.
R. Leigh Hennig@charliejane I am absolutely 100% on board with swapping race or genders when it comes to titles. Black Captain America? Bad. Ass. Jane as Thor? Kick ass. All-female Ghostbusters? Absolutely. (Wasn’t as good as the originals—don’t kill me!)
But Harrison Ford played a PERSON. His NAME was Indiana Jones. Ford didn’t try to co-opt anything, did he? Just leave him be. Fuck, not absolutely every single piece of popular media with a white cis male protagonist needs to get this treatment.

Ok, but being that "Indiana" was the dog - there no requirement that the human who adopted that name be a boy.
