Mais vous savez, je n’ai jamais eu peur du ***qu’endira-t-on social.*** Je n’avais pas peur de porter des cornes. On a l’impression que c’est le péché absolu; moi, je pense que ce sont des vitamins socials.

of what people would say in society
Hello,
qu'en dira-t-on = what people will say
I was never scared of what people would say in society.
social = society (in society)
Don't forget "sequence of tenses" in English (don't say the future if the main clause is in the past)
