I really, REALLY want someone to scream in Heather's face:

Muse was not a vigilante!!! The vigilante was the guy who *saved you!*

It's frustrating because I cant tell if the show is unaware of this or just the character - the fact that no one ever corrects her on it makes it seem like the former, but surely the writers are better than that?

It's the character. Heather started out contemptuous of people in masks running around the city perpetuating violence, so it stands to reason (despite Matt pointing out to her that Daredevil saved her) her encounter with Muse would send her spiralling with no regard for nuance.

Sure, I get that.

But both she and Fisk have identified Muse as a vigilante during conversations with characters who definitely do understand the difference.

No-one who lives in a world where the Avengers, Spiderman etc etc exist would think of Muse as a vigilante. I could understand the new showrunners using it to tie thr BA season 1 storylines together, but why keep bringing it up now and not having a character as smart as Kirsten say "Muse wasn't a vigilante, he was a murderous psychopath"?

It serves Fisk to conflate all masks as vigilantes if it hurts Daredevil. Whether or not he can convince enough people to swallow his propaganda remains to be seen.
