I, including that friend and others (may or not be) working on the new version of Beat Banger Nights - do not support or condone any type of stolen or traced artwork. I don't have an exact opinion on Tori - though it heavily leans into the "disappointed" side.
Let's start: Me, friends, and others - heavily suspect that Tori's artwork are traced. I do not have all of the Beat Banger Nights images on me as of right now, so I am going off by her posts.
I am not an actual artist. I do TRTF-style sprites, but I have been around "the artwork community" for long to even spot what's wrong.
Here a few examples:

This was the first one that I was made aware of, and made me feel like something was wrong. A reverse image search on Google later... I found this render by AlwisYuneth on Twitter (https://xcancel.com/AlwisYuneth/status/1611648924032319491)

Now comparing it to Tori's...

... Right.
Another sign: The inconsistent artstyle.


Notice how it jumps from "detailed" to... that. This was shown on one of the Beat Banger Nights pages, which is now deleted - but I can describe it off my head:
The first image seemed to be a poster of sorts, it wasn't detailed or good at all - the character heads were drawn like blobs. Then the next image, which was one of the characters - seemed okayish at best. Yikes.
