I'd say the guy you quoted just needs a new hobby.
This.
I'd say in general a losing image is -EV, because it's generally LOSERS who have the losing image. If they knew how to use that image to their favor, they wouldn't be losers.
I started playing in an underground 1/3 game about 5 years ago. When I started, I was a consistent loser. I'd play way too many hands, call down too much, bluffed too much, and made tons of all-in calls just to gamble. As time went by, and I started getting better, I learned from image. Absolutely nobody would fold to me. So I started just playing tight. I could sit for hours without playing a hand, then pick up AA and 4b/5b shove, and get called super light because "He could have any two!!!".
So it's all about being aware of your image, and using it effectively.
