Vulcans don’t lack emotions. They’ve found ways to disassociate their actions and reactions from their emotions (with some pretty serious side effects). Also, Spock is half human.
I thought it was clear? Tuvok is a rage addict that has a bare tenuous grasp on his desire to literally rip Neelix a new one. It’s a constant theme through the series, even when they show him as a kid.
Depending on who’s writing the episode, yeah, and it’s a great concept that I felt was explored well. Other times, however, we have an episode where Tuvok talks at length about the training and conditioning he underwent to control his emotions, then in the very next episode, talk at length about how Vulcans are naturally emotionless and incapable of feeling emotion at all. This chronic lack of consistency in the writers’ room is a big part of why Moore left the show to reboot BSG.
Tuvok is just your typical Rick Berman male that has bottled up his emotions so long he’s convinced himself that he doesn’t have any until he’s nearly killed by his own unfulfilled lust.

Unfortunately, the writers often forget this. VOY waffles a lot on whether or not Tuvok is literally emotionless.

“Thank God Voyager’s writing was so inconsistent!”
-Me, a BSG fan
Tuvok is just an overachiever.
