He's placed in the "loser" stereotype because that was what he was in the eyes of his tribe. The adults saw him as a person that "everytime [he] steps outside, disaster falls". His peers either thought nothing of him (Fishlegs and Astrid) or would think he was trouble (Tuffnut and Snotlout). It wasn't until he befriended Toothless when he found his place in the world did his confidence shine through, as well as being able to prove all of them wrong. That's one of the reasons why he has so many fans.
