“Look, I’m a man in my thirty’s playing with children toys on the regular! What’s the problem?!”
I don’t see why we are worried about what we are calling ourselves when we all look like a bunch of dorks doing it anyway.

Don’t worry, it’s all the same when you get to your thirties.

I would 100% bring back “yo” as a verb like they had going in the early 80’s. YO FOR IT!!!
Yoers forever.

If you’re talking to the man on the street, “thrower” could have many meanings, probably none of which have anything to do with yoyos. “Yoyoer” is also somewhat silly.
As @eternalmetal says, “I like to yoyo” is very descriptive, and leaves little to the imagination.

You will be in your 30s before you know it, and every old person is right in that time DOES go quicker the older you get.

Heheh…asa gay man in my forties playing with yo-yos all I need to do is add a pro as a backdrop and sprinkle some kids and I am sure some ignorant people would totally get the wrong idea instantly…unfortunately…at the end of the day yoyo, throw, yoyoers, throwers or whatever else you want to call it isn’t the part to be cringing at…it is societies view of everything and the way at our core we judge others by appearance or action or our need to label and name things how bout we just call it “having fun repititiously failing!!!”

“Thrower,” to me, sounds like I go into Destiny raids and intentionally Leeroy Jenkins to troll. Or get so tilted in a game that everything just goes downhill.
To me, “yoyoer” is also pretty cringy. It just… doesn’t feel good. It feels like that really unpleasant, tacky gloss finish some cheap yoyos use, except in your mouth.
I’ll use “throw/thrower” because it’s short and my autocorrect picks it up often enough. In speech, however, I’ll say “play yoyo.”
