If you want things to move in that direction, it takes momentum. If nobody does it for fear of confusion, then it will never change. So I say we make that little effort, and explain ourselves if need be.
Wildly tapping our thumbs on a piece of glass is not how humans express emotion. Since it’s literally impossible to truly convey emotions in characters anyhow, I’m just advocating for attempting to be expressive in a way that more people can understand. Vs confusing your audience because you didn’t consider them and then judging them for it.

I say let’s embrace trying to be clear by using more words, not less. Within reason anyhow.
Using more words to describe emotional content is not really how humans use language, but you do have the next best thing, which are tone indicators
