Concerning the Tai Temper Tantrum thing: that is his perception, in lighthearted joke form, of her Semblance. By including it where relevant, we are not saying she is indeed throwing a tantrum every time she uses it. Tai was not being completely serious when he said it, and if we are presenting it as such, we should step back on that. Perhaps we should present that statement more comically than seriously (which is somewhat how it comes off even though it was not intentional), so thank you for that level of input.

Concerning the use of Yang's arm when talking about her: it is a defining aspect of her character and much of her character growth can be seen through the lens of it. Because of the circumstance of how she lost it, she has had to relearn how to fight (not rely on Semblance or temper when charging Adam as someone who took advantage of her temper). Because her fighting style is an extension of her personality and because it was a traumatic experience in general, she has had to learn how to collect herself and think of fights more analytically than just "I can punch right through this" which she does when it gets personal. In the Yellow Trailer, she was analytical, yes. However, her opponents were not trying to toy with emotions like Neon Katt or Adam have. She had a level head in that Trailer because she had a goal of finding her mother and took that very seriously. Because she lost her arm when her opponent got the better of her emotions, she has had to learn how to maintain the level head she had in the Yellow Trailer.

Concerning "Brawler": Brawler is a classification. Brawler does not mean all Yang does is punch. It does not mean she is not capable of dodging or blocking. It means her fighting style is most reliant on close-quarters hand-to-hand combat (though she is capable of ranged attacks, mostly she chooses to be very close and goes for range only when it seems particularly advantageous to do so. For instance, when fighting the Nevermore as an aerial opponent).
