Thanks, I was wondering how some of the game breaking issues from 1st
(according to rpg.net *heavy sarcasm*) were resolved. :)

The link redirects me to the rpg.net homepage, huh...

Yeah, I think that was a Google thing; Kim wasn't trying to link it.  In any case, I have no interest in calling attention to an event from a full 10 years ago regarding details of Fight that no longer apply.  If you just have to know, PM me on Discord and I'll give you the basics.

That was odd, but yes, I wasn't intending to link anything  not that
particular clown show especially.

Took a quick look and I like it but I am a little torn. In many ways 2ed
seems to be moving in a more generic (in a good sense) effects based
direction which, IMO, improves its flexibility and intuitive nature of
the rules, easier for folks like me to understand. I do regret the loss
of some color aspects of Qualities like Beautiful and Cute. *shrug* They
were genre appropriate, IMO and had good flavor, communicated something
about the characters that had them in one or a few words.

Also the almost bullying tactics employed by those complained and
assumption of some kind of moral high ground, bad faith and out right
finger wagging and inability to employ some degree of common sense was
annoying as is seeing it have impact (No matter how thought out and
possibly correct) as it will just encourage the smug jerks.

Beautiful and Cute still exist. You can pick Attractive multiple times and it's encouraged to give bonus attractiveness a descriptor. The text for Attractive then shows a few examples "drawn from the source material", which are... Beautiful, Cute, Dashing and Sexy.

Nothing is truly lost.

My point.  Everything is still there.  It's just packaged differently.

Yes, I'm aware still exist in a sense (Its not hard to write down:
Attractive: He's cute as a button! or "She's got the Bad Girl appeal..."
) and cabut they are grouped under a more generic label and not set
apart and separately defined. That's more efficient space wise and more
flexible but some, myself some what included, feel that can cost
'flavor'. Its a subjective evaluation, so mileage will vary. It's not 
game breaker for me, just a bit of nostalgia and some smirking from the
bruhaha the Outrage Brigade put up about 1st edition terminology.

On a related topic, could a character get a weakness for a certain
definition of Attractive, Distracting, etc? Like a character that's a
sucker for blondes or loves school girl uniforms, perhapa treating them
as the base Qualities even the subject doesn't have them or taking
effect if the do?

Kitchi Koo has Attractive x1 "Nekojin Kawaii!"

Peter Otaku has a Weakness for Catgirls so treats Kitchi has having
Attractive x2 and even if she didn't have it all, just being described
as a cat girl would make him relate to her mechanically as if she had
Attractive x1 (and possibly Distracting...)

That's not formally in the rules, but you could do that, I guess...IF such a Weakness actually has a negative effect.  Personally, I think gaining a full Quality or a Combat Skill Point just because some rare characters get a +1 to interaction effects is not a balanced trade.

Perhaps I used the wrong terminology?

It would give character a free bonus against your character for nothing
and could apply to combat effects like "Distracting" as well as effect
role playing. Otaku might be wrong to full Kichi's tricks. It would
depend on role playing and how much emphasis that game puts on it or
mechanics, in or out of combat. My group uses social mechanics and
effect fairly extensively in and out combat and "little issues" can bite
you in the butt as, some of then might rp and suggest the bonuses
without getting anything for it, But as you suggest it might not be
appropriate for all groups.

Or maybe I just don't full grasp the mindset this game as much as I like
it.

Thanks! We're hoping it allows more people to actually sit down and *play* the game.
