They're all games. They're all escapist power fantasies. No one wants to role play a character who doesn't matter to the story, regardless of the genre.

Be a Cat has nothing to do with power, and everything with escapism (and cats). I mean, there is nothing wrong with power and fantasies. Or powerless fantasies, as in horror stories, or whatever.
