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.
The Last of Us Part II and Shadow of the Tomb Raider as being positive examples
Oh the highly controversial game that was practically dumped in to discount bins in the east and the nu-Tomb Raider that performed the WORST according to Steam charts.
Nintendo’s Princess Peach and Zelda were used as examples of negative stereotypes
Both HUGE hits and highly praised by everybody, the golden cash cows of nintendo that basically fund their consoles with only the expectation these titles will be launched on those platforms.
Please go ahead Capcom, jump off the cliff, I will clap if you do a flip.
I just don't understand. I realize how much power progressives have in small, insulated groups but at some point during these meetings, higher-ups have to be looking at sales charts. What's going on?

Sometimes the higher ups are the ideologues.
Ideologues get promotions for burning capital.
Unless those higher ups are gay, black and trans they’d be publicly canceled for pushing back on any of these issues
