Even if... and that is a massive IF ... they have zero influence at the moment, the optics of accepting their cash is a shitshow on steroids. It looks like tacit acceptance at the very least, and it will likely come back to bite you in the ass.
Ya coulda just said, "Thanks, but no."

@Blender I did.
Fuck right off with that. I do not give a fuck about your excuses for accepting what is essentially blood money from a company that kills creativity and steals from the open source community with impunity. I regret ever giving a single dime to you and will not do so ever again. Fuck you. Fuck off.

Note: partially reworded the social media announcement so it sounds less tone-deaf about the controversial nature of the membership.

@Blender Didn't reword the whitewashing paean to the corporation on your website, though. You'd whitewash anyone.
Pathetic.

@Blender It's not the announcement, that's tone-deaf. It's the actual acceptance of dirty money by a bad actor that's tone-deaf.
Just in case you forgot: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y4jpg922qo
They paid $1.5bn because they were IRREFUTABLY CAUGHT PIRATING.

@Blender this is a big fail. Really deeply disappointed in Blender as a project and organization for taking blood money like this.

@Blender This is a company whose technology is actively being used to bomb people randomly. This is one of the companies fueling the demand for overproduction of data centers, which in turn is bringing coal plants back online to meet the electricity demands. They have done so much harm to everybody in this world, I don't think we are going to be able to fully heal from it for decades.

@Blender Trying to making it sound less tone-deaf doesn't make the membership itself less tone-deaf unfortunately.
On the contrary I would say...

@Blender "Hey Claude; how would you f**k up a design tool?"
