The first time she used her Semblance against Junior, for example, she wasn't angry or pissed. The look on her face was more so one of concentration and determination. I'm talking about the part where it goes slow-mo with her eyes transitioning into red and then she breaks his bat. She also wasn't pissed off when she used her Semblance to punch the arm off the Paladin in Painting the Town, nor when she finished it off with Blake's help.

The reason that we keep seeing her eyes turn red when she's angry is because of the fact that a large amount of negative emotion can cause someone to accidentally activate their Semblance. Yang is the earliest example of this happening, but we didn't know it until Pyrrha and Weiss accidentally activated their Semblances while filled with negative emotion. Because Yang has a short temper, she more frequently accidentally activates her Semblance.
