Little Rascals star Bug Hall has stood by comments he made about his daughters following the birth of his son which his followers slammed as being 'sexist' and 'vile'.

The former actor starred as Alfalfa in the 1990s flick, while he also featured as Newt Shaw in The Big Green and Buster Stupid in The Stupids.

Hall welcomed his fifth child recently, who just so happened to be his first son.

The 39-year-old took to Twitter to announce the arrival of Mark Athanasius Chad Anthony Hall-Barnett on Tuesday (17 September).

“I have an heir,” the former actor posted on the social media site with a series of photos of the newborn and his wife Jill in the hospital.

"Mark Athanasius Chad Anthony Hall-Barnett of the Holy Cross was born at 4am, weighing in at 9.5 lbs. Mama and baby are both doing great. My bride's fifth delivery, third all natural," he continued.

Many took to the comments section of the post to ask where the mention for his daughters was.

The response fans got from Hall left the majority of them in shock.

"I said heir, not dishwasher," he pointed out to fans who were asking about the lack of daughter talk.

Such comment led to many others heading to the comments section, with the vast majority slamming Hall for his remarks.

"I feel bad for your children. Especially your daughters," one person commented.

"You’re disgusting. You’re publicly demeaning your daughters to try and generate rage bait clicks," a second added, while a third remarked: "As I have become a father of only daughters, I have began to see how this world is to girls."

Hall promptly responded to the backlash, suggesting it was some 'wild fun'.

He penned: "Alright this was some wild fun. The dishwashers are making a ruckus."

Responding to someone who called for his wife to divorce him over the comments, Hall quipped: "I made the same joke to my wife while she was in labor. We both had a good laugh. Hard as it is for you to comprehend, most normal people are still rich in humor and joy. Stay miserable, curmudgeon."

After the Twitter post went viral, Hall sat down with Catholicism.org to discuss the reaction.

"I was only surprised at first by the level of visibility of the post," he said.

"I can’t begin to speculate on how or why it reached such levels, but the actual responses weren’t surprising to me at all.

"The most vitriol I get, and I get a decent amount, is always related to my posts about my family values and our simple lifestyle.

"What one might consider my more extreme positions/posts are usually met with less anger than the ones that simply promote a happy family."
