Or just don’t get offended so quickly, this is just how people tend to speak sometimes. Don’t implicitly add bad intent or insults when none were explicitly made.

I think it's OK to expect that people in the workplace take responsibility for improving their own social skills, which is really what this boils down to.
To be honest though, many times I think this kind of situation can be avoided by talking through the problem with others at the beginning.
"assume good intent" is a good rule of thumb, but there are ways the author of the code review can also communicate in a way that's inviting a constructive conversation, rather than potentially leading the author of the code to have to "defend" their position.
