This is just one artist's delusions of twisting and perverting the series into generic shounen slop out of misogynistic hatred towards empowered women. It's really no different than those random faceless male rape h-doujins that portray the girls as helpless rape dolls.
Quite disrespectful and a very petty waste of talent, honestly.

I'd agree with the guys complaining if they were actually accurate in their complaints.
These guys aren't, in fact, easily stomping the girls like they were Superman walking all over Spider-man. They are, in fact, cheating like Batman bringing kryptonite to an ambush on Superman (the girls being Superman in this case).
Kourin outright admits he can't beat a single one of the Moriya gang even in a one-on-one. He's just stalling them while the others do their thing, and can only do so because of the power of the Kusanagi. The moment the goddesses got even a little bit serious they almost killed him.
Youki is only beating Tenshi because he's turned it into a melee battle and she's not a real swordsman, she just has a powerful magical sword. The moment she stopped panicing because he was up in her grill and started using her powers she was able to fight back some. He's also probably the most genuinely powerful member of their little crew (which makes sense since he's basically an older, more skilled Youmu).
Unzan is only doing well against Suika because he's created cloud constructs in the shape of a pheasant, a dog, and a moneky; the three animals that helped Momotaro defeat the island of oni. He's using some kind of weird symbolism magic to exploit Suika's traditional oni weaknesses (which makes sense because Gensokyo is all about symbolism and belief).
Myouren ambushed Reimu and Marisa, and is using some kind of sealing tool that has been both upgraded and modded by Kourin to work specifically on them (it's somehow activated by their debt and uses their own personality flaws to empower itself, because it was constructed using things they own and that are familiar to them, and both girls hate getting out of their respective comfort zones personality-wise).
Later, Youki has to ambush Remilia in the rain and still barely wins (and his regular sword breaks). Then Flandre shows up and would have roasted him if Myouren hadn't ambushed and sealed her (notice Myouren has to jump people from behind a lot despite having a skill-set similar to Byakuren's), and even after being sealed she's making his sealing tool shake violently, showing she's trying to break out.
These are carefully planned raids by guys, exploiting the girls' weaknesses, and they are still barely pulling it off. It looks like their are ROLF-stomping at a casual glance, but even casual attention paid to the dialogue reveals the guys would have been raped (and not in the 'hentai doujin' way) if they had challenged most of the girls head on with no plan.
Its "cool" if you like reading JLA comics where Batman beats the bad guys by using his gadgets and outmanuvering them and exploiting their weaknesses. Whether the author keeps this tone throughout the whole story remains to be seen though.
To be fair, alot of people hate Batman because they think he shouldn't be on equal terms with Superman, Green Lantern and the like.
Batman brings Kryptonite to Superman and trounces him. Batman brings a yellow powder shooter to Green Lantern and punches him in the face. These are the same people that say "Batman never would have won if he didn't exploit weaknesses" which is entirely Batman's shtick in the first place.
If a super villian had some sort of weakness to cupcakes, Batman would just call the nearest bakery and store a kitchen in his utility belt.
