If you only look at Kyoukai Dancers and Kodoku no Mahou that's the image you'll get, but those are both mangas where Marisa is forced into something she didn't want to have to do. Accordingly, she threw her empathy away and got her hands dirty, but I don't doubt that it affected her anyways, considering how she wept at the end of Kodoku no Mahou.

In her other appearances where she has a choice in the matter, like the 1st and 4th bonus manga, she was the hero or one of the heroes that saved the day (even risking her life in the case of Magaboshi). I haven't read the 2nd one but she's on the cover, must have been another heroic moment.
In Babanbabanki she was roped into Banki's problem but instead of making them handle it on their own she agreed to help.
In her other manga Curse of Crimson, Marisa literally went to hell and back just to make Reimu some ofuda.
There's also RAINFALL, where if Marisa hadn't helped we wouldn't be seeing Reimu and Sanae in his doujins anymore.

She definitely "gives a fuck" and has lots of heroic moments, if seemingly reluctant.
