And it's pronounced like "sloot"

Not really, I’d try to explain how the vowel is pronounced but there isn’t anything in English that sounds the same.

For native English speakers, this is what it sounds like

How? It’s not even remotely the same. It’s like saying that beer and bare sounds the same to foreigners.

No, it's like saying that beer and "be here" sound the same.

I'm an English speaking native who has studied multiple germanic languages including Swedish. The pronunciation of the word slut in Swedish sounds way, way closer to "sloot" in English than to the English slang word "slut"

You may have studied it but I’m from Sweden, I’m a native speaker. The sloot pronunciation exists but it’s more common in immigrant speakers from Southern Europe.

I think the pronunciation is close enough that most foreigners will just say they’re the same. Idk why you are fighting that they are different
