I don't know of a power fantasy that can survive contact with the issues power raises. The only way to preserve a good power fantasy is to intentionally (if unconsciously) refuse to take on the issues it'd provoke.
Are you taking on issues of power, coolness strongness and goodness? Then it's thematic play. Are you rejecting the issues, to preserve the fantasy? Then it's not. That's CA.
