People create derivative works all the time of all media types to suit their tastes, dreams, and whims - I don't see why that should be illegal as long as they aren't trying to resell it or create a competing brand.
Why not just consume media you don't find offensive in the first place? Would you feel differently if I wanted to _insert_ sex scenes in to movies that didn't have them?

FOMO, mainly? You feel left out when all of your coworkers are talking about GoT everyday... if only there were a way to consume it in a way that met your standards and you could participate in the discussions too...

Not at all! If that's what you want to do, you should be able to do it on your own copy! Or if you wanted to replace the main character with Thomas the Tank Engine, whatever floats your boat, that's great.
How is a consumer altering a movie experience or book experience any different from a consumer altering a:
- music experience (remix, etc.)
- food experience (customizing a chef's dish)
- video game experience (with game genie, mods, etc.)
- picture experience (with photoshop, memes, etc.)
