These leaks are the results of hackers not getting their ransom for the context of how this happened.
I'll just quote some of the more notable findings in regards to the section people here would care more about.
Sexuality, LGBTQ, and women were also discussed. One slide features The Last of Us Part II and Shadow of the Tomb Raider as being positive examples of LGBTQ characters; and that such characters should be portrayed as appealing as male characters (and promoted in the same way). Capcom do note that certain regions view LGBTQ characters negatively.
Meanwhile, Nintendo’s Princess Peach and Zelda were used as examples of negative stereotypes of women due to being damsels in distress. This is in spite of the image used for Zelda being from Breath of the Wild; where the character takes a more pro-active role.
Sex appeal, such as bikini costumes or lewd poses and costumes, should be equal between men and women, and serve a purpose in the context of the story. However, costumes cannot appeal to only one kind of user base, such as only one gender.
Capcom used their own games as examples of this. While a shirtless costume for Street Fighter‘s Ryu was fine, R. Mika’s butt-smashing super move was not. Cases where an armor set in Monster Hunter World shows more skin on the female character was also seen as a bad thing.
While disappointing, I can't say I'm that surprised to learn about it. I think anyone with a brain could see this sort of thing happening after RE 3 Remake.
Dammit, should've known with the changes towards flashy, reactive, actiony gameplay (and the damn clutch claw) were signs of the end rather than a generational gimmick.
Please let Rise and Stories 2 at least be a good sign off point if they're gonna drag MH through the mud.

They better not dare take away my sexy female MH armors.
They’re literally saying that’s what they’re going to do.
You think MH could survive beyond the mainstream popularity World brought? No way.
As a fan of MH since 3, sorry. It’s over for us veterans.

Stories? Probably. It’s small enough to escape.
Rise? Probably not. Would love to be wrong though.
