The guy clearly had issues, either mental health issues or was just a bit twisted and got a kick out of this sort of thing, but I'd say that's a side issue. The main issue for me is why a flight attendant felt it was her job to grant his request and why none of the other flight crew made a stand and stopped her from doing so.

My recollection is he told the flight attendants he wouldn't leave the bathroom unless they wiped his ass, which then creates an inconvenience for other passengers, a safety issue, etc.

There's always that one passenger that doesn't take any shit (pardon the pun) and will happily drag him out, usually to the applause of the other passengers. There's no excuse on this earth that would ever see me wiping someone's ass, let alone one that belongs to a fat, sweaty, obnoxious weirdo with a fetish for that sort of thing.

As someone else pointed out, I can only put it down to differing attitudes between east and west I guess.

I believe the story was either just before take off or landing that he went to use the toilet. He refused to leave until being wiped clean. Wiped by 2 or 3 flight crew. Making disgusting happy noises with every wipe. Even after wiping he told them he wasn’t wiped clean and ordered them to wipe some more.

As for cultural differences, wasn’t there a Korean airlines princess publicly scolding a flight staff for either not picking up peanuts she had thrown on the floor or not filling her drink fast enough or something like that?

Over there they are trained to be polite. Customer comes first. In the West, they are trained to be rude. They come first. Customers who don’t conform in the West get tasered or the cops come to drag them away.

Except Southwest. I always try to fly Southwest if I go domestic. They sing songs and throw bags of pretzels and crackers at you.
