It's because way back in 1.0 they ran a poll about what sort of new race people would like to see. They had 5 options: Humanlike, mammalian demi-human, reptilian demi-human, mammalian beastman, and reptilian beastman. They gave examples for each race, and unfortunately for mammalian demi-human they gave the example of "viera". Of course everyone misread that and went "ZOMG I WANT MAH BUNNY GIRLS!" assuming that was a promise that viera would be added to the game if that poll option won. Of course, it won in a landslide.
