We used to have a way more twisted culture of "People think you're fat? Just start making more money so they'd love you even despite being fat and ugly!"
Not much healthier if you ask me.
I think I know what you're getting at though. The original thought behind body positivity was: "You might not like the way you look and that is okay, you still deserve for people to like you, and if you want, you can even change the way you look — this isn't the reason to be give up".
@Tony
At later stages it dropped the latter part of dropping blaming yourself part, encouraging change, and adopting "You don't like the way you look and they don't like it either? Just tell them to go fuck themselves and die!!!" — effectively eliminating the reason to change entirely and just transforming blaming yourself into blaming others…
I don't like this shit either.
