It seems Bug Hall, the dude best known for playing Alfalfa in Little Rascals, has gone from a little rascal to a big f**king weirdo, taking to Twitter with a series of bizarre, ultra-religious takes no one asked for.
Last week, Hall took a break from reminiscing on his approximately two (2) glory days — 1) appearing in the 1994 version of the Little Rascals; and 2) starring in the absolutely fire Disney Channel original movie Get A Clue — to embark on a Twitter tirade promoting corporal punishment of infants and brutally misogynistic ideals like marriage debt, or the belief that married couples owe their spouse sex on demand (which is typically better known as rape).
“As a father of daughters I’m already training them to expect my judgment on courtship and marriage,” he wrote on Saturday, December 3rd, according to screenshots depicting the posts prior to his Twitter suspension.
Remember Bug Hall? Alfalfa from Little Rascals. He's gone full TradCath.

“Before betrothal I’ll vet their suitor rigorously,” added Hall, who recently moved from Hollywood to a Midwestern farm, noting that he planned on grilling his children’s future SO’s on topics like education, “mothers working” and “natural law in regard,” whatever the f*ck that means.
Hall also got candid about his 18th-century sweatshop-like approach to discipline, explaining that he “severely” punishes his kids for “unacceptable behavior.” “Punishment begins at around 10 months,” he wrote in a post that could make Adrian Peterson look like Danny Tanner. “Before the age of reason it’s an immediate corporal/retributive justice. It then begins to shift to a privation/reparative model.”

As they generally are when it comes to issues of sexism and, well, seemingly beating babies, Twitter wasn’t happy with Hall’s remarks, with several users gleefully dunking on the actor for his wannabe Jordan-Peterson-meets-trad-life pastiche.
Bug Hall revealing himself to be physically and sexually abusive to his family makes me sick and so disappointed bc I loved Jack in Get a Clue… interesting to see Bug fading while Lindsay rises from the ashes… pic.twitter.com/s4bMUnh6AM

“This is hilarious because Bug_Hall here thinks his daughters will be talking to him when they grow up,” joked @mburchett.
“Saving this for your future son-in-law who will probably (redacted) you with a (redacted) behind a (redacted),” added @gWinbags alongside a screengrab of one of Hall’s posts.
“I really hope Twitter doesn’t die, because only here can Bug Hall go from ‘whatever happened to’ child actor to Catholic Twitter villain to canceled account in less than 12 hours,” mused Brian Fraga, a journalist at the National Catholic Reporter.
I just found out @Bug_Hall account has been suspended for some reason. I thought Twitter was getting better. Obviously not!!! pic.twitter.com/SRfEVlkue6
