Paris is Burning

In the documentary, Paris is Burning, one perspective of drag balls would be that they are the best ways for someone in drag to let all their feelings out in a public place without any consequences. Others are not in to that type of thing but just leave people who do drag on their own and let them do their own thing. Basically they don't care much about it. There are also people who also are not into drag balls but it is a little overboard for them and they don't like the fact that people do that at all. They basically want to stop drag altogether.
The people who go to drag balls to watch or participate are the ones who like the drag balls and feel that is is the best way for people in drag to let out all their feelings. They are also the people who feel awkward on the streets and don't feel like they fit in. But in drag balls, they can fit in.
There are also people who aren't into that type of thing, but let it be and try not to get involved with any commotion. Those are the people who can care less. I would probably be in this category.
Other people who also aren't into drag and drag balls, but they don't like it so much that they want to stop it altogether. They will call people who go to drag balls derogatory names or even kill them. There are many people who are like this. In the documentary a person in drag was murdered because that person was going to drag balls before they could finish the documentary.
Those are three different types of opinions about drag and drag balls.
