DeviantART has actually improved quite a bit. They took out the really iffy stuff from their terms of service, and they now make a point of saying in plain language that any art you post is yours and yours alone, and dA has rights to reproduce it only so that it can be shown to other people through their service as you choose.

The other thing that made me leave in a fit of squick has been fixed -- on the profile page they now allow you to choose female, male, or other. :) So my beefs with them are over and I've made a new account.

I think they even have an embedding code that you can use to post a thumbnail to another page, which makes it easier to share through LJ/DW. I'll have to check that out to be sure.
