Line 44:
A form of kayfabe also exists in theme parks such as Disneyland where performers dressed up as Elsa or Snow White roleplay as their respective characters, termed by the company as "character integrity". As far as their audience is concerned, cast member Bella or Tiffany ''is'' Snow White, and they should talk to her as if she is the character in question. Under no circumstances should Bella and Tiffany "spoil the magic", and off-duty or former face characters are obliged to say that they are "friends with" the character they're portraying rather than merely stating that they played the role of a particular princess or Mickey Mouse character.
 
On the web, this notion has branched out into [[Twitter]], [[Tumblr]] and [[deviantARTDeviantArt]] with the rise of roleplayed [[Character Blog]]s. Some of the more hardcore roleplayers will refuse to break character, even though the fact that they are ''not'' an official character blog is plain to see. The degree of this practice is still pretty low in the grand scheme of things, but has nonetheless been in practice for several years. (Related are some AMAs done on sites such as [[Reddit]].)
 
This practice is also sometimes used in roller derby, but not always.<ref>In many cases, roller derby is an actual competition without a predetermined (read: rigged) outcome, instead of just being "sports entertainment" (examples of the latter include "Rollergames", and "Rollerjam").</ref>
