Redditors have noticed funny situations and made them into memes, I can't blame them for that. It was the developers who decided that memes would be a major element of the game.
I haven't played Age of Wonders, so I can't say. But I've seen some Old World events, and that was completely different thing than the events in CK3. CK3 is a game that spans centuries. One day means nothing, the day in the game passes in a second. That's one of the elements of grand strategy, and the events should reflect that grandness as well. Instead we get irrelevant trivial stuff at best, silly wannabe memes at worst.
This has also already been addressed. A lot of people, including myself, wanted a game rule to turn off silly events, just like there were game rules in CK2 to turn off absurd and supernatural events. Some of the developers have said outright that they won't do anything like that because they don't want to reduce the content. The fact that many players would very much like to reduce content so that that particular content doesn't ruin their game experience was not really taken into consideration.
But they aren't reducing content, they are giving the players the option to reduce the content based on what they want to see and not see.

That meme hit hard because it's so damn accurate.
I believe people making fart jokes during ww2 too. Imagine an event about Stalin farting during one of his STAVKA meetings in HoI4.
That would be at least 46 stress since Stalin for sure was Arrogant.
We were assured there would be no supernatural content in CK3. There's a real giggle faction on the team that needs to be reined in.
Counterpoint - CK3 follows the player character very intimately, much more so than HoI4 does for comparison - Stalin no doubt had his own embarrassing moments, but you don't hear about those - in no small part because they would have clashed with his image. But that doesn't mean nothing of that nature ever happened.
Medieval aristrocrats no doubt had to visit the toilet, but you don't hear about those moments - in no small part because they would have clashed with their image. But that doesn't mean nothing of that nature ever happened.
I agree. Taking a big dump at the right moment should relieve a huge amount of stress. Taking it at the wrong moment though, can result in a lot of stress, especially if the character is Arrogant, Shy or Lustful (reduce the chance of getting laid). An event for toilet relief everyday can improve immersion greatly. Also more stuffs for players to do = better.
In my opinion, the fact that CK3 is trying to follow our character this intimately is one of the main problems. As I wrote above, CK3 is a game that spans centuries. One day means nothing, because one day in the game passes in a second. That's one of the elements of grand strategy, and the events should reflect that grandness as well. The game itself is not even adapted to simulate situations taking place in such a short period of time. This can be seen in the latest DLC, where a hunting trip takes several in-game months (as opposed to the few days it actually took in reality). I understand the inspiration of The Sims, but even CK2 had a good level of "The Sims elements", there's no need to push those elements to such extreme level. I'd rather see the grand strategy be more grand and more strategy and less everyday mundane stuff.
