The focus of the game has shifted slightly... It's now about people standing up and using their inner strength (usually embodied as psychic powers) to fight the supernatural. These people may have been victimized, but they're not victims - they're heroes.
The lack of magic rules fits in this setup, too - magic in BtS2 is about bargaining with dark powers. Heroes rely on their own strength to get by.
Really, BtS is no longer a generic horror game - it's now a game of supernatural adventure and heroics.
