I thought dA was somehow better. ;~;
They once removied a pic by FA artist Fluffball from the site (and suspended her as well) because of content; she posted this picture (direct link for non-FA members) of a half-naked Kagome and Inuyasha in a loving embrace after the end of the Inuyasha manga. Why was it deleted? Because they forbid pornographic depictions of underage characters, and they also (at one time; I have no idea if this policy is still in place, but knowing DA, it probably is) forbid artists from "aging up" characters to get around that rule.
While Kagome was depicted as a 15-year-old for every chapter of the manga but the last one, the last chapter of the manga fast-forwarded things three years, making Kagome an 18-year-old; it was the 18-year-old Kagome that Fluffball was depicting in the image. But DA still disallowed the image because the character was technically depicted as a minor for 99.9% of the manga (and the entirety of the anime). Yes, DA essentially overrode the Word of God in relation to Inuyasha (according to their policies, official story "epilogues" don't count), and they called Fluffball's image "child pornography" to boot. Fluffball left DA for good after her suspension was lifted.
That horrible image you linked to getting a Daily Deviation? It saddens me, but it really doesn't surprise me, knowing just how stupid DA's admins are.
I dunno if that's really a good enough reason to leave dA forever... especially in favor of a place like FA. I haven't read the manga and I've only seen a few episodes of the anime, so I wouldn't know how appropriate/inappropriate that image is. Also this DD, it's just something stupid and not something imma rage over.
