Offense is on who[m?] ever takes it. The first choice is fragmentary, the second ambiguous (is/are). maybe deserves it's own apostrophe, I dunno.

It's vs. Its: Correct Usage - Merriam-Webster
What to Know. It's is a contraction and should be used where a sentence would normally read "it is" or "it has." The apostrophe indicates that part of a word has been removed. Its with no apostrophe, on the other hand, is the possessive word, like "his" and "her," for nouns without gender.

Apologizing for offense taken is a slippery slope.
All I remember from today's episode is Trick-or-treaters chanting "Respect -- respect -- water".
