1. I use my 3DS in public sometimes. I'll use it at conventions a lot, but I've also used it on public transit. I've even used it walking down the street sometimes.
2. Depends where. At conventions, I don't feel judged. On public transit, I don't feel judged most of the time. Walking down the street, I sometimes feel judged. But I never feel ashamed. Often I do ride/walk with friends when I do this though, makes things less awkward.
3. On occassions where I choose not to use my 3DS, fear of stigmatization/judgement is rarely a factor.
