David Boreanaz

Anyone notice he shaves his pits? Feel like it's unusual for a guy to do that but I noticed it since his Buffy days.

But that's what Whedon loves to do most. He loves to create beloved woman/female/girl characters and then destroy them. Anya. Fred. Tara. Cordelia. Joyce. Either brutally slain or pointlessly killed off to cause other characters to be triggered.
Joyce wasn’t needlessly killed off. In fact I would say that The Body was probably one of the best episodes in terms of plot twist in modern television.

That being said if you watch the EW reunion no one from David to SMG wanted Joyce to die but if I remember correctly Kristine Sutherland was okay with her death once it was explained both why and how she would die. SMG even went to Joss to beg him to change the script.

As far as im aware, it was her own decision to have her die. She knew she didnt want to be in any more seasons after their current one, so she opted out on a death. Same thing with Anya. She didnt want to be in the show after season 7, so Joss killed her off, his reason being Spike had a "Heros death" but he wanted a tragic "every mans death" for someone, and Anya fit the bill, seeing as she was leaving.

Um... Kristine Sutherland knew of her demise by the end of the third season; she had been planning to travel Europe, which is why she was absent for the majority of the fourth season. And then Joss' mother's death is what pushed for the exit in the fifth season, which was intended to change "Buffy, affecting her season’s dynamic with her priorities on family and the realization she can’t kill everything that could harm the ones she loves." It was never Sutherland's decision to die. She simply wanted to travel.

And Emma Caulfield admitted in one interview she requested to be killed off, because she didn't want to come back should Buffy continue into an eighth season, despite the overall knowing that it was unlikely to happen.
 
In the book INTO EVERY GENERATION by Evan Ross Katz (which JUST came out a few months ago) Emma admits that she interpreted Anya's (senseless) death as a fuck you from Joss. She said she was okay with dying but when she saw how it was done, no mourning or loss for her, she felt like it was a fuck you

He was not a cool guy lol.
