Just found out that apparently some people stand up to wipe their ass and I’m so confused. Why the hell would you stand up? Doesn’t that just make it way harder to actually clean yourself? Is this just some stupid joke I’m taking seriously because I’m an idiot or do some of y’all actually wipe standing up?

For the third time, I don't wipe my ass at all for the same reason I don't wear a mask in public. Because you'll never take my freedom. This is America.
I’m just as confused as you are, wouldn’t that clap the buttcheeks shut? Sitting down so everything’s conveniently spread open is the only sensible way.
I wipe standing if I'm in a hurry to go somewhere, but I always make sure my bunghole is cleaned properly.
I also learned quite late in life that there are people who don't wipe the same way I do, and I was just as shocked. I wipe standing up though. I don't know how anyone can wipe sitting down, it'd be such an awkward place to try to reach into. Standing up gives you easy access to it. Also your dick would get in the way, and since you've just been pissing, surely you're bound to get piss dribbling onto your hand as it brushes past. I don't get it at all.
In order for your penis to come in contact with your hand when you're wiping your butt, you'd obviously have to reach under yourself from the front.
That seems to me to be a very awkward and illogical way to reach something that's behind you. I suppose some people might be phobic about touching toilet seats with the back of their hand and others might have reduced mobility of their shoulder joint which means they can't reach behind themselves, but going in from behind is the most sensible approach.
But then surely you'd have to scoot up to the very front edge of the toilet seat to allow for enough space behind you for your hand to reach in? And then your penis would be smooshed up to the upper front of the inner toilet bowl, which would be disgusting if other guys' penises have done the same, plus there'd be bacteria there.
You can pull one of your butt flaps to the side to prevent pancaking shit clumps, stand up then gently tickle the nuggets out.
I do both. It just depends. Sometimes I stand a little, but never straight up.
Most of the world does not have American style toilets. The most common position in the world is to squat (and often the toilet is nothing more than a hole you aim for). A number of those people will stand up more to wipe (or wash).
Note: People who squat in the world almost never develop hemorrhoids.... Just sitting on an American style toilet modifies the positions of the muscles.
After I had hemorrhoid surgery (very painful recovery) I was advised to lean to one side and raise one leg and cheek largely off of the toilet to minimize development of more hemorrhoids (and to alternate sides).
Just as look as to keep wiping until the TP comes back clean. Always look at the TP after you wipe.
